About Me

I've crossed the Atlantic yet again to embark on a 27 month adventure in order to live, learn and love.

My nickname is Pace (pronounced 'pa-chay') and Smiles is my superhero name.

I have spent most of my formative years between New York and New Jersey-- two places which I adore dearly and may always consider home. I studied at SUNY Binghamton during my undergraduate years and at the University of South Florida for graduate school. I am a Public Health Coordinator/Master's International Peace Corps Volunteer in Cameroon. I live tucked up in the mountains of the Northwest Region and am indisputably the luckiest Peace Corps Volunteer on the continent (arguably all of Peace Corps). It seems my life revolves around music, food, friends and family, nature and exploring.

One person once described me as 'fun' and I just want to live inside of a Van Morrison song.
Let's see.. my house is roomy and tastefully decorated-- come for a visit!
