CEO
I am a retired American diplomat working with nonprofits to advance human rights around the world.
As a diplomat, I spent years traveling to different countries, living there at embassies, and working with the people of those countries to make the world a better neighborhood for all of us. I used to visit villages and oversee projects we were working on. As Executive Director, I oversee all of the projects our organization works on. It also involves meetings, fundraising, problem solving, and networking.
Here's the first step for everyone
Make mistakes and learn from them. Keep learning, keep climbing, and keep giving back.
