Please consider attending one (or all) of these upcoming events.
I got involved at Gardens for Health through BNID; I saw a featured listing on the newsletter. The job seemed perfect; it was a crossroads of all the things I was passionate about: global health, sustainable agriculture, and East Africa. I thought ‘this is the place I want to be’.
I grew up with a deep sense of unfairness with how the world works. I noticed and cared about things like poverty from a very early age. As an undergrad, I knew I liked the topics of health and different cultures, but I didn’t know I could make a career in either. One day, I went to the student association for pre-health professionals at CU Boulder.
I come from a small town in Massachusetts. I had never planned on doing international work. I became interested in different cultures and languages while I was in college at UMass Amherst.
