About Me

My photo
etoomey
I grew up in Milford, CT, graduated from Jonathan Law High School in 1999, graduated from Williams College in 2003, and moved to Nevada for the 7 years following college to work for the Nevada Conservation Corps (Americorps) and various other environmental non-profit organizations. I began my Peace Corps Service as an Environment Volunteer in Madagascar in March 2011. I enjoy farming, hiking, doing my laundry in the river, and living the slow village lifestyle practiced in Morarano.
