| Occupation | Director of Education & Community Partnerships |
| Location | Michigan / Kabala, Sierra Leone |
| Introduction | I direct the education & community partnerships for a regional family-owned theatre circuit in West and Central Michigan. My husband Aaron is in the midst of a PhD biology degree, studying 'behavioral ecology' of the W. African Forest buffalo. He grew up in Sierra Leone, is fluent in a number of languages spoken in the north of the country, and is committed both to the people and conservation of natural resources. We are juggling an interesting first few years of marriage! I have been incredibly privileged to get access to the wonderful Kuranko people and land in the north of the country... along with the best available 'lingual' and 'cultural' interpretation. |
