Mar. 2014 - May. 2016Dominican Republic, DajabónAs a Peace Corps Volunteer, I led cross-sector initiatives focused on education, infrastructure, and community well-being. I secured funding and oversaw the development of the community’s first library, alongside launching sustainable literacy programs and training local facilitators. In partnership with community leaders, I supported the construction of an aqueduct to improve access to clean water and collaborated on initiatives to reduce domestic violence through education and dialogue. I also designed and facilitated a women’s entrepreneurship course, empowering participants with tools for financial independence and leadership. Additionally, I co-authored the Peace Corps’ first Early Childhood Development manual and partnered with Save the Children to implement integrated health and literacy programs tailored to local needs.
