To make a long story as short as I can, I applied to the Peace Corps my senior year at UCLA March 2008. I was nominated to go to Africa doing HIV/AIDS education for March 2009. I moved in with my parents and lived in Sun Valley, ID and Hawaii (I know, tough life.) While I waited, I worked as a waitress and spent lots of time with my parents. We became the "Trio."
March 2009 came and went, and I began getting in patient with the Peace Corps, and decided it was time to move on from my dreams of being a Peace Corps Volunteer. I moved to San Francisco to be with all my college friends and started working as a Sales Rep at Pacific Office Automation. At POA is where I met my good friend Aricca (ULLL!!)
I had moved on from the Peace Corps and liked my job and loved living in the city. As luck would have it, Peace Corps contacted me in December 2009 and offered me and invitation to Rwanda for HIV AIDS education and Youth Development leaving at the end of February. Without seeing where I was going to land, I jumped in with both feet and accepted!
