KENYA & UGANDA
Right now I am learning Swahili and I cannot wait to use the skills I am learning
I would love to work with children in these countries.
NEW ZEALAND
I have done a seismic hazard analysis (aka ‘Earthquake Report’) on a city in New Zealand. I have done a lot of

EASTERN EUROPE
This where my roots are from. It will be interesting to see how well I interact with ‘my people’.
