A: Three of my close family members completed Peace Corps terms of service. My mom served in the Congo, my aunt in Zimbabwe, and my uncle worked for PC for most of his career around the world! Q: Walk me through your time with the Peace Corps? What were some of your favorite memories? A: I had pre-service training for 3 months, then I moved to Perlita! I worked with a community group, farmed yerba mate, educated people about the dangers of burning plastic, started an organic gardening program, taught english, and played lots of guitar and soccer!
Q: What was it like living in your service location? Did you have significant time off? If so- what did you do during that time off? A: We drank yerba mate all day long! I had a huge amount of free time although that time turned out to be some of the most important time of my service. Q: In what ways did The Peace Corps shape your life personally and professionally? Q: How do you fill your time outside work? A: Mountain biking, skiing, trail running, snowboarding, backpacking, rafting, playing music, petting dogs.
