Hello all!
My name is Corie White and I will be interning with People
Helping People Global this summer for 3 months. I’ll be arriving just after my
graduation from the University of Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner!) this May, and
leaving in mid-August to begin my legal education at the University Of Oklahoma
College Of Law, where I will pursue a joint degree of Juris Doctor and Masters of International and
Area Studies.
My undergraduate degree is in International and Area Studies
with a minor in Spanish. My focuses have been Latin America, international
development, and trafficking, specifically human and organs trafficking. As a junior,
I spent 6 months living, studying, and teaching English in Vina del Mar, Chile. While there, I
traveled extensively throughout Chile and Peru, with my highlight being hiking
the Inca Trail. I have also traveled throughout much of Central America and the
Caribbean.
I have a craving for travel and adventure that can rarely be
satisfied, so I am thrilled to be heading to Nicaragua this summer- particularly
since I will be buckling down for law school in the fall. I am a huge fan of Mohammed
Yunus and the micro-loan model and am excited to see it in action first hand.
I am looking forward to the summer of a lifetime!
Best,
Corie
