Vanessa MasonPetition StarterI am a 20-something originally from Texas, but without a permanent home at the moment. After graduating from Yale University in 2006, I headed to DC, searching for a job that would allow me to be of service to disadvantaged populations. After the usual 9-5 in Washington, DC working for a government contractor in health communication, I packed my bags and volunteered in Mozambique, assisting in a capacity building program for Mozambican NGOs working in HIV/AIDS. I lived in Argentina as a volunteer with a community health center that treats HIV patients for six months. I currently work as an AmeriCorps member for a nonprofit that helps refugee youth succeed in education I am passionate about public health, especially in developing countries which is the perfect outlet to feed my love of travel and social change. My blog features observations about social change through the prism of public health.
