“Andre was my supervisor during the seven months I interned at the Department of the Veterans Affairs. Andre wasn’t just my supervisor, but was a true mentor and leader to me as well. During my time interning at the VA I developed an internal employee blog on behalf of a VA leader. Andre and I worked closely together on this project. His guidance not only allowed for me to learn the fundamentals about blogging, but allowed me to see nontraditional ways that blogging can be used. Andre has a skill of pushing people to try different career paths. With his motivation and belief in my abilities, I was able to write speeches for a senior leader at the VA. A really great part of my internship at the VA was the many learning opportunities Andre encouraged and pushed for interns to attend. Because of Andre we were able to attend conferences, workshops, participate in online trainings, and even meet with leaders at the Pentagon. Not only is Andre extremely dedicated to his own success, but he is dedicated to the success of others as well. He is a hard worker who prides himself on producing quality A+ work. Andre is one of the best supervisors that I've had. It's been an honor to learn from him. Although it’s been a few years since I’ve worked for Andre, he still helps me when needed as I continue to navigate through my career. These are the qualities that a true leader, mentor, and coach embody. ”

In 2009 I participated in building sanitary composting latrines for a rural Panamanian village that lacked basic sanitation, or elecriticity. In 2010, I co-organized a follow-up project to this village that built the village's first electricity-generating, water-powered turbines.
