About Me

In November 2006 I launched the DC Fair Trade and Social Entrepreneurship Network, a growing grassroots, trade justice advocacy network for the Washington, DC area, connecting nonprofit professionals, business owners and conscious consumers. Subsequently, I designed and continue to manage a trade justice blog. Raised in Connecticut, I hold a Bachelors in journalism from University of Connecticut. During college I was a Staff Writer for the Daily Campus, an independent newspaper covering university life and interned for Irish Emigrant Publications, based in Galway, Ireland. I will begin a Master’s degree study related to international trade policy in 2010. Previously I was a Volunteer Sales Associate for Ten Thousand Villages retail shops in Conn., and Alexandria, Va. where I was elected to serve as a 07-08 member of the Executive Advisory Board.

What are my goals? I intend to further my education and expand upon current grassroots efforts for trade justice globally to market the Fair Trade Movement. I seek employment opportunities in public relations, communications or sales in fair trade-related microenterprise business.
