My time at Rollins provided all the foundational skills I needed for project management, program development, and coalition building. I use these skills on a daily basis and am grateful for all the real-time project experience we were given through our classes. These are skills that are transferable in any job, no matter the focus.

I rely heavily on cultural competency and cross-cultural communication, skills I exercised during my global field experience (GFE) with RZHRG in Kigali, Rwanda. I think back to coursework with Kate Winskell on social and behavioral change--I use these skills frequently to help novice partners follow humanitarian standards and best practices in our field. The most useful training I received from Rollins was the Complex Humanitarian Emergencies coursework. Finally, leadership skills have been very important in my job; working with others in classes and my jobs during grad school cultivated these skills in me.
