I'm a graduate of the University of Tennessee, with a B.A. in Global Politics & Economics and a minor in Political Science. My academic interests lie in global health, development and foreign affairs -- particularly the programming and communcations side of NGOs. I'm enamored by East Africa and have spent a lot of time in Uganda working with a number of awesome organizations. I love to travel, and my wanderlust has taken me around 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 on the move, 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 and Paul Simon.
