How did your International Studies degree benefit you/lead you to your current work? How does your current work relate to International Studies?

While attending the University of Iowa, I had the opportunity to help charter a Rotaract Club and get to know local Rotarians well. This really piqued my interest in Rotary.

My current work does relate to International Studies! Rotary is one of the largest international nonprofits out there, with a budget of approximately $300 million to do grants throughout the world in the areas of water and sanitation, environment, basic education and literacy, maternal and child health, disease prevention and treatment, peace and conflict prevention/resolution and economic and community development.
