About

Why was this blog started?

I originally started a blog for a 4xxx level STSH class called How to Read the New York Times (Hence the un-original title, weird textbook-like references, and the occasional odd post).  After my accelerated 6-week summer course ended, I realized that I wanted to keep that blog!  I actually find it relaxing to get lost in news stories for 2 hours straight and then rant about it!  

I decided to make a habit out of blogging, so I created this blog to follow my adventures in Honduras!  I like sharing my success stories and failures, and trust me when I say that I have many, many failures.  Often times I'm able to joke about my mistakes since they are gringa-level mistakes, so sit back, relax, and enjoy reading about my life.  

Who am I?

I'm just a country mouse trying to survive college in New York State.  I wanted to major in Biomedical Engineering, realized I suck at Engineering (I attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that is KNOWN for its Engineering), and finally changed my major!  I'm now a Junior majoring in Science and Technology Studies while minoring in Communications.  

In November of 2018, I found a global health non-profit in Honduras and decided to move here to work.  So far, work has given me an incredible opportunity to work in a multi-cultural, multi-lingual environment alongside my talented coworkers.  I plan on living here for 7 months, so I plan to enjoy my stay and learn as much as I can in the meantime!
