Country of Service: Dominica

Training Group: EC60

Cities you served in: Roseau

Arrival Year: 1994

Departure Year: 1996

Work Description:

Served as a trainer and coordinator for the Adolescent Skills Training Programme at the Social Centre in Roseau. I also coordinated the start-up of the Goodwill School Uniform Cooperative and I supported special projects with the National Nutrition Council.

Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:

I live in Houston, Texas and I work in menu development for Continental Airlines. Working for an airline has turned out to be a great fix for someone with perpetual wanderlust.

Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:

I'm not sure how much of an impact I made on the people of Dominica, but it was a wonderful two years and I cherish the lifelong friends I met there. The experiences I had there definitely made me a better, stronger person.

Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:

Anyone from EC59,60&61!

Any message for returned volunteers?:

I just returned from a ten-year "reunion" trip to Dominica. The more things change...the more they definitely stay the same.
