I'm a Development Professional, and academic, who believes in service. I listen first, observe, and then help empower others to improve their quality of life through the practical application of information. I believe strongly in doing this with them, not for them. I was attracted to the Peace Corps and the opportunity it provides to work in the developing world. I received my official invitation from the U.S. Peace Corps and departed for Zambia, Africa on July 19, 2011 to work as a Community Development and Health Extension Officer. I served at post through September 2013, before accepting an extension position as the Peace Corps Volunteer Leader (PCVL) of Southern Province. I served as PCVL of Southern province until October 2014 and successfully completed my service. After I took the presidency of the Conservation focused Non-profit Amaterra In September 2015 I started a two year Masters program in Global Studies at the University of Wroclaw, and Roskilde.

In December 2018, I joined the Global Governance team at the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs, and I work as a coordinator for the Indigenous Navigator Initiative (Consortium of 6 organisations of which IWGIA is part).
