| Introduction | Born in California, I was raised outside of Sarnia, Ontario and attended St. Christopher Secondary School. After completing my Arts & Science degree at McMaster University in Hamilton, I moved to Ottawa to attend the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA) for an MA focused on conflict resolution, gender equality, peacebuilding, and participatory development. Throughout this time most of my education has happened outside of the classroom during internships and international volunteer placements. These include working for Engineers Without Borders Canada, Action Canada for Population and Development, and CIDA. Overseas, I have worked at the Institute for Indian Mother and Child (IIMC) in India, and volunteered in Brazil, Macedonia, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. Currently, I am working for the Aga Khan Foundation in Tajikistan through AKF Canada for 8 months and will be based in the capital city of Dushanbe. |
