Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:
As of July, 2002 I'll be the Mission Director for USAID's Regional Mission
to the five Central Asian countries. Since Peace Corps, I had a research
position with University of Wisconsin-Madison and served with USAID in
Cote d'Ivoire, Jamaica, Haiti, Ecuador, Russia (twice), and Egypt.
Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:
Peace Corps was the most enriching experience of my life and it was the
best use of the two years I devoted to my work and the people of
Burkina.
Any message for returned volunteers?:
Fellow RPCV's from Burkina are welcome to contact me-and visit if
you're in Almaty, Kazakhstan!
