Currently, I am working with a non-profit organization that focuses on food sovereignty in rural Haiti. I lived in Haiti for a year in 2008 while working with a disaster relief organization. Over the last decade I have continued to work on projects with local communities in the arts and in sustainable agriculture. Over the past year I have been working with Partners in Progress, a non-profit organization dedicated to sustainable rural development in Haiti.
