Bio
As a GPIA student, I learned the theory and skills that I would need to work in the field of development as a director of a small NGO in Eastern Kenya. I secured this position after interning with the organization through the International Fieldwork Program. I continue to administer the GPIA program's website at GPIA.info, a site that I helped to shape with GPIA alumni Andy Thorton.
