Experience
County Director
Aug 2023 — Present · MA
As Country Director for Peace Corps Morocco, I lead a team supporting American volunteers who work hand-in-hand with Moroccan communities to promote youth development, education, and cross-cultural exchange. At the heart of our mission is person-to-person diplomacy—building trust, understanding, and meaningful relationships that transcend borders. The impact of Peace Corps is truly extraordinary: it transforms lives on both sides, strengthens communities, and deepens mutual friendship and respect between nations.
