Welcome to my site! This ePortfolio documents my studies in the LACS 20 course, called “The Politics and Ethics of Development in Latin America” at Dartmouth College. The purpose of the course is to provide a social, political, and ethical context for the Cross-Cultural Education and Services Program I will participate in as the leader of the Clinical Health team in Nicaragua.
