A little about me...
My name is Caroline and I started this project 7 years ago. In June 2008, I completed a joint Master of Public Administration and M.A. - International Relations program at the Maxwell School, Syracuse University. I am currently engaged in the search process for the next step in my life's journey, which definitely included planning for next year's edition of the resource guide!
 
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 on the post-graduate school job search 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.
