I'm moving to Panama this June with the Peace Corps to help rural farmers in their sustainably efforts. I will also assist their communities in agricultural endeavors.

I look forward to starting my new job with COX media as a board operator. I will be controlling the audio for radio shows on WOKV.

Flagler prepared me by working at the College Radio station, WFCF, for four years. I worked with deadlines, show hosting, and board operation. If it wasn't for WFCF, I would not have the job that I have now!
