Leadership & Service in Youth Development Mohammedia, Morocco
Hometown: Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Hi Everyone! I'm so excited to be leading the Service Learning program in Mohammedia, Morocco. I grew up in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and went to school in Upstate NY at Hamilton College. I didn't think I could find a town smaller after living in Gettysburg, but Hamilton's town, Clinton, took the prize. I love playing sports and I will probably die from watching the Orioles lose too many baseball games. Reading is my favorite pastime and recently I've been on a classics kick to try and culture myself. I am currently an English teacher here in Mohammedia and enjoy walking on the beach and drinking coffee while people watching. I have had the privilege of working in the community both in Gettysburg and Clinton as well as a couple other cities on the East coast. As Mohammedia has been my home for the past year, I am so excited to introduce you all to life here and to have an opportunity myself to give back to the community.
