As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I worked with urban youth from a low-income neighborhood in the largest city in Ecuador. My projects included designing and implementing an internship program to promote leadership skills among young women aged 14-16; designing a curriculum and teaching natural science classes to 30 elementary and junior high students; and working with over 200 students at 4 different educational and extracurricular programs, teaching classes and tutoring individuals in Spanish, English, Algebra, the natural sciences, and the fine arts. During this time I discovered that I love working one on one with students. I am excited to be back in Atlanta and continuing to work with students!
