My first year I served with Denfeld High School in Duluth, Minnesota where I tutored and mentored high school students who were having challenges within the education system. My second year I served with Men As Peacemakers, a Duluth non-profit, whose mission is to engage communities in innovative strategies to eliminate violence against women and girls.While working for Men As Peacemakers, I specifically worked with the Girls Restorative Program where I Co-Facilitated weekly girl groups and coordinated programming at Lincoln Park Middle School. Working with these amazing young women to navigate life ignited my passion to live a life of service. I am truly dedicated to my passion and being able to use my skills to help improve the life of women and girls is what motivates me. I hope to dedicate my energy to my personal mission and joining the Peace Corps is the next step.
This blog is essentially meant to serve as a way for me to document my Peace Corps journey so others like myself can use it as a resource and for friends and family to stay up to date on where life takes me :-) I want to thank all of you in advance for following and supporting me in the next chapter of my life. Speaking of support....I have started a GoFundMe account to help with expenses while I am in Rwanda. If you are in the position to help please visit, donate, and share my page!
I feel so blessed that I get to pursue my passion and even more excited that I can share my story with all of you. Since I will not be leaving until September, my blog will not be as active until the time comes. So, be sure to subscribe to my blog so you can receive emails when I start populating it with more content. Until next time; anyone interested in the Peace Corps process, my interview, timeline, etc feel free to contact me with any questions. It is a long process and can be confusing so please use me as a resource.
