A little about me...
My name is Caroline and I started this project 8 years ago. Last year, I completed a joint Master of Public Administration and M.A. - International Relations program at the Maxwell School, Syracuse University and am now working as a Project Coordinator for three economic development research projects with Innovations for Poverty Action in Ghana.
 
My passion for and commitment to this resource guide stems from the opportunities that were provided to me several years ago. As an undergraduate, I was blessed to participate in two amazing summer programs, the Fogarty International MIRT Program in HIV/AIDS Research in Trinidad & Tobago and the Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA) program at the University of Michigan. When not working and creating projects like this guide, I keep busy with research on promoting girls' education internationally, reading, watching foreign films, cooking as well as spending quality time with family and friends.
