Yay, Peace Corps! About me: Current third-year Peace Corps Volunteer Leader finishing up my Service mid-next year. My first two years of Service focused on building capacity among workers in the education and health sectors and managing small projects/grants.As a third-year Leader I help guide Trainees and Volunteers through Service and work with an NGO developing a community garden for a small, rural village.Two-term AmeriCorps member; service was with American Red Cross and focused on client casework and volunteer management. Undergraduate degree in Latin American Studies w/ Spanish minor (two research fellowships and one internship; Graduated 7 years ago, LOL)Applying to Case Western Reserve University because I like the setup of the programs and field placements, there is no application fee, they offer Coverdell Fellowships, and I like Cleveland (family and cheap cost of living).Applying for MSSA with specialization in Aging (I am very interested in working with adult refugee and immigrant populations, as well as the aging prison population)Certified Advanced-High Spanish (not sure if this helps my application)Good luck to everyone! And if you're applying for a Coverdell Fellowship, please write back to let us know how your application fared!
