Background:

     Was a Bonner Leader at Middlesex County College for two years, also working with Americorps. Worked for the Bonner Foundation this past summer (2008) as an intern. Duties included: Creating pages for all of the Bonner schools in the U.S. on the Bonner Network Wiki, helping to create the Bonner Student Handbook and modifying workshops that deal with political activism and civic engagement for all Bonners to use while incorporating the four year developmental model.

       I am a transfer student here at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and am in my junior year. I have begun working as the Bonner Junior Intern at the Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning here at HWS and look forward to my two years here at the colleges.
