Featured on “And So The Story Goes”: How Studying & Serving Abroad Transformed My Purpose

I had the honor of being featured on the podcast And So The Story Goes, where I shared how studying abroad in Germany and Paraguay—and serving in the Peace Corps in Fiji—completely reshaped how I view education, purpose, and global connection.

In this episode, I talk about my homestay experiences, teaching abroad, and how these opportunities after undergrad and during grad school opened my eyes to the power of cultural immersion and community engagement.

I also had the chance to return for their Story Slam Series, where I performed a personal poem I wrote in honor of my time on the island of Fiji—an unforgettable chapter of my Peace Corps journey.

These stories are close to my heart, and I hope they encourage someone out there to say yes to the unfamiliar, because that’s where transformation begins.
