I am a first-year aerospace engineering student attending CU Boulder with plans to minor in both Global Business and Spanish Culture. Growing up in San Diego CA exposed me to the vibrant Hispanic culture of that city, and sparked my interest into the latin cultures of Central and South America. Whilst attending university I am taking courses to minor in Spanish Culture and am using this amazing opportunity to travel to Peru to aid in that education. My involvement in this trip through Volunteers Around the World is derived from not only my need to serve the community, but also my curiosity in gaining a better understanding of, and expanding my perspective on the local culture and people.
