Post 8 -- Year 2, Round 1! -- 4/12/2014

Hello again! I've been very busy throughout training the past few months, but I finally had some time to make a new video blog yesterday! I'm the team leader for team FEMA Green 2 at the Pacific Region AmeriCorps NCCC campus, and my team is deployed to Bothell, Washington for our first project round! A couple of my team members joined me to make this video yesterday!

FEMA Blue 1 Oklahoma Recovery Slideshow

I should have posted this a long time ago, but I want to share my team's "celebration" video from our project round supporting disaster survivors in Oklahoma this past May-June. After each project round we are required to put together a presentation to celebrate our accomplishments for the round, so we made this slideshow. Enjoy! FEMA Blue 1 Oklahoma Deployment

Post 6 -- Rounds 2 and 3

Sorry it's been so long since I posted an update! My team and I have served in Washington, D.C. and Jefferson City, Missouri since we left Oklahoma! We'll graduate from the program in four short weeks; it's hard to believe it will be over so soon! I'm considering serving a second term, but I'm not sure yet. Hope you enjoy this video update!

Biggest Agave ever!

I was walking in Berkeley yesterday and came across this monster! It looks like the same species that I had sent to me from CA last year

Post 4 - Oakland, office work, and national parks

The last month has flown by; we've completed FEMA training, started our first project round, (my team, FEMA Blue 1, ended up staying on the West Coast), and have been separated from the rest of our Corps for a few weeks now
