Senior Moniefia Maitland from Pocahontas County, West Virginia, will join the Peace Corps in Colombia after she graduates in May.
“My future plans include working in the economic development and foreign policy sectors,” said the political science major. “I’m really passionate about seeing change happen for the better in the developing world. Mary Baldwin has prepared me to face challenges. I’ve learned how to be flexible and competent, and be inspired to produce the best work that I possibly can. My experiences here have also helped to shape and strengthen my capabilities as a leader. I am so much more confident than I was before, and I take motivation from the people around me.”
