Science and English. She served in the Peace Corps as an environmental
education volunteer in rural Nicaragua, and is currently the Program

"My favorite
experience on this AquaRAP was watching the full moon rise over
the Five Thousand Island Rapids, while chatting with the Ye'kwana
about their river and impressions of us. They told me this was
the first time many of them had ever worked with foreigners. And,
although they sounded surprised, they said we were very good people!"
