| My name is Portia Georgia. I am a recent college graduate from the University of Wisconsin Green Bay. My degree is in the field of Democracy and Justice Studies and I also have minors in Environmental Policy and Planning and Women and Gender Studies. After graduating from college I spent over one year traveling, working, volunteering and studying in the United States and South America. During this time I studied sustainable architecture, volunteered at an animal rescue center and library and worked as an English Professor. While in South America, I also learned to speak Spanish. I enjoy reading, being in nature, and spending time with my friends and family. In my spare time I like to find ways to meaningfully engage with my community. |
