I'm a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (El Salvador) and currently pursuing my M.A. in Intercultural Communication. My focus is the Latino community in Baltimore. I'm currently working with a group of Latina moms to help them deal with issues in their children's education and in negotiating their roles as immigrants in the U.S. I've got lots of energy and really want to make a difference.

I want to live in a world where people care about how we affect the world and others in this world. I would eliminate the exploitation of underprivileged peoples and the environment. I would also stop violence, encourage smart life choices for young people, and grant equal rights for all people. Easy as pie, right?

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in El Salvador for two years, and I've also been to Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Israel, Spain, Italy, England, and the Netherlands. I plan to explore South America next.

The "issues" I'm most passionate about are violence against women, immigrant rights, and overpopulation. Other things I love: dancing, running, reading, and laughing.

I speak English and Spanish fluently. I know approximately 10 words in Hebrew, mostly just the colors.
