About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To locate and acquire gainful employment, preferably in the Washington metropolitan area.

ABOUT ME
I am a RPCV who served in Sierra Leone from 2013-14. Currently looking for an entry level position in international economic development or public health. Love traveling and meeting new people. Very laid back and easy to get along with. Always seeking out new and exciting experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Moving to DC in the hopes of landing a job despite not knowing many people nor having much of idea as to where I'm going to live. Hoping to get by with a bit of help from some couchsurfers and to meet some great new people in the process.
