Having traveled to over thirty countries, I have found that my international experiences have helped me to better appreciate different cultures, values, perspectives and problem solving. My travels have also allowed me to be see how different countries plan their communities, develop and implement public policy and address the challenges of climate change. I also believe that my international experiences have enhanced my professional skill sets; including, organizational performance, program evaluation, policy analysis, decision-making, critical thinking and creativity.
Here I would like to have the ability to place a few pictures with the ability to include a short paragraph or two describing key aspects of the particular trip.
