Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Health Insurance Specialist
Served in Peace Corps Ghana where I worked with Cashew farmers to help build their capacity and create sustainability. My job was to teach them about efficiency to help increase their yield and business.
In Ghana, the cashew farmers would struggle with income from the crops of their trees. As a PCV trained in compacity building, I spearheaded a project to teach farmers beekeeping. Founded the Nsawkaw Beekeeper’s Association to make beekeeping a sustainable extra income generating activity among cashew farmers and also to study the cross-pollination effects of the bees on cashew trees.
Organizer of the Executive Committee of the Peace Corps Ghana Cashew Initiative which is an on-going group of Peace Corps Volunteers who work together to share knowledge and work towards the common goal of improving the livelihood of cashew farmers in Ghana.
Lead a P.E. club for children at Konadu Basic School. The school was founded and ran by Clement Opoku which provides the school for children who cannot afford transportation to school otherwise. The club was known as Obour X. Obour is my Ghanaian name which is Akan for stone.
Being the only American in my community was a very broadening experience for me. I have learned how to communicate with people of a completely different culture. This involves being integrated with the culture and sensitive to different lifestyles. This experience has gained me the confidence and ability to be able to go anywhere in the world and be very diplomatic and sensitive when dealing with other peoples.

Agriculture Adviser, Community Developer and Organizer, Cross-Cultural Communicater
As an intern on an organic farm vegetable farm. On the farm, we grew over 40 different plant and root crops. I learned many valuable skills in sustainable agriculture that are very valuable in developing countries. Such skills include passive solar greenhouses (high tunnel structure that helps plants flourish in harsh environments), and the importance of soil nutrients for crops. My duties included all aspects of farm management and all daily activities of planting, harvesting, and selling of produce.
