About Me

VMI ’06, BA in International Studies (with distinction), minors in History and Leadership. I am writing to you from Africa where I am a Peace Corps volunteer in Ketane, Lesotho (2007-2009), working as an HIV/AIDS Advisor to the Lesotho Catholic Bishops Conference (LCBC). My primary project is to help people suffering from HIV/AIDS, encourage positive living of those who have HIV/AIDS, and to educate communities in prevention of HIV through abstinence until marriage and faithfulness thereafater. I serve 20+ villages which are located as near as my front steps and as far as 30KM. When I am not visiting a village I teach English, Science, and Math at Nohana Secondary School. I also work on many other projects throughout the villages which focus either on income generation or improving the quality of life. I am also planning to do extensive work with irrigation and the teaching of proper farming techniques. Prior to this position, I worked for Universal Chastity Education (UCE) in Uganda and Burundi, AFRICA (2007), where I served as International Operations Coordinator, and I have worked in Haiti.
