Dustyn Winder

I'm a graduate of the University of Tennessee, with a B.A. in Global Studies: Politics & Economics and a minor in Political Science. I work as an Associate for Global Health Strategies, an international communications, advocacy and policy consulting firm, in New York, and in that capacity have the amazing opportunity to work with a range of clients toward the delivery of global health products and solutions worldwide. My academic and professional interests lie in aid policy, global health and foreign affairs -- particularly the programming and communcations side of INGOs. I'm enamored by East Africa and have spent significant time in Uganda working with a number of organizations. I love to travel, and my wanderlust has taken me around East Africa, to Central America, across the U.S., through Europe and the Caribbean, but I always seem to end up back in the Pearl. When I'm not working, I love to cook, run, hike, and take pictures. I'm an Apple fanboy with no shame; have a cat named after Kofi Annan; and I love movies, bluegrass, hip hop, politics and Christmas.
