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

After leaving Peace Corps I joined a spiritual community, worked in publishing and returned to school where I mastered in psychology and am now a marriage, family therapist. I have since as it was in Peace Corps from Sandra L Judson to what is now.

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

Peace Corps was an incredibly rich experience introducing me to diverse experiences that both opened my heart and touched my soul. I am so grateful that I was able to be exposed to a much broader version of life than my previously ethnocentric background had revealed. Peace Corps helped me discover my humanity and connectedness with others.
