Geography was always my favorite subject as a child. Scanning the many iconic images in National Geographic magazines and puzzling over world maps sparked my interest and appreciation for the world’s cultural and natural wonders. This interest in travel and culture was a driving force behind my decision to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector with a focus on designing educational experiences that engage audiences in mission-driven work.
