Erika is working on her Ph.D. in cognitive psychology at the University of Colorado
at Boulder. She holds a B.A. in psychology and anthropology from the University
of California at Berkeley. Her background in anthropology combined with her travels
in Morocco and Central America have led to a desire to help people from poor regions
of the world. ATNI’s focus on increasing health care and education opportunities
for disadvantaged people parallels her belief that aid should focus on creating
opportunities for sustainable economic growth. Erika previously volunteered with
ATNI as an assistant grant writer.
Lindsay Mitchell recently joined ATNI as a volunteer researcher and writer.
Lindsay graduated in May from Colorado State University, where she received
her Bachelor of Arts degree in Cultural Anthropology. She has always had a passion
to help those who are suffering in the developing world. After returning from
a trip to India this past June, where she volunteered with street children,
her desire to work for those less fortunate intensified. Lindsay is very excited
to be a part of ATNI and welcomes the opportunity to gain some experience with
an NGO that is working to improve living conditions in some of the world's poorest
countries.
Maha Kamal was born in Colorado and has lived in Colorado ever since, although
her family is originally from Pakistan. She just recently graduated from the
University of Colorado at Boulder with her B.A. in International Affairs. She
is currently preparing to start a Masters program focused on diplomacy and international
studies so that she may, in the near-future, work for the United Nations Children's
Fund. Maha is also jointly-pursuing a Nursing degree so that she can also practice
pediatric nursing abroad. In her spare time, she loves traveling, painting and
reading a good issue of The Economist.
Genevieve Dennard is a senior anthropology and geography major at University of
Colorado at Boulder. Her recent trip to Hohoe, Ghana left her with a strong need
to volunteer for an international organization that focuses on creating greater
opportunities for those who need it. She also enjoys volunteering for locally
based organizations such as the Humane Society and Carriage House.
