Dear Reader, 
I hope you're well!
My name is Emily, but Em/Emmie works too ( that's what my friends call me). I'm a university student pursuing a bachelor of science major in psychology. Helping people has always been the thing that brings me the most joy. I know I know, must sound cliche coming from the psych student, but it's true. I've never done international volunteering before, only home-base bound. I've worked with Special Olympics consecutively as a swimming instructor, as well as for the Duke of Edinburgh Program, and currently, I'm pursuing volunteering at the local hospital. I've wanted to partake in international volunteering for years, but the timing never aligned. Right now, to be honest, I'm up to my eyes in school. I have about 3 years left of my program, but this project is how I want to spend my time off... if life allows. Anyway, I hope someone out there resonates with my goals and passions too. Hope life brings you nothing but the best.
