I recently graduated from Gettysburg College with a BA in Globalization Studies (concentration: international development, minor: political science.) I am now looking for opportunities to pursue a career in international development and public health, or a related field.
I came a cross Givology a few months ago and LOVED it, so I decided to try my chances as an intern. So far, so good. I love helping people without expecting anything in return, and that is exactly what Givology does! Although my official internship with Givology ended in June, I have decided to continue with this organization because it has truly taught me a lot and I hope to give my time in support of its cause.
In my spare time, I like to listen to music, learn about different cultures, meet people of different backgrounds, read and update my healthy living blog!

Wings to Fly: How Emmaus Road Foundation is Giving Poor Columbian Families Hope Through Education and Leadership Training
"To all those who invest in our education and leadership, I want to reassure you that your gifts continue to give us wings to fly." - Alexandra Nossa, ERF student. Have you ever really wanted something but had no way of obtaining it? If so, then you are familiar with the feeling of frustration experienced by a large percentage of the poor and vulnerable population in Columbia. Many of them yearn for the opportunity to receive an education in order to improve their lives, but financial difficulties stand as an obstacle to achieving this dream.
