Grew up in Southern California in the sun, near the beach. Dreamed of living in Africa as a child. Married a boy, had 2 boys of my own and then packed up our bags and moved to Uganda in 2006. It’s been a journey, full of tears, struggles, pain, letting go and a whole lot of fun and awful filled moments. While this cross cultural life is hard, it is one I wouldn’t trade! I work in animal disease control for a multi-national research organization and am a PhD student in veterinary epidemiology. Mom to 2 great boys and married to one great man.
