Cecilia is originally from New Hampshire but has spent the last four years in snowy Montreal where she studied Political Science and French at McGill University. She is excited to spend the next year with the DC Service Corps growing closer to God and serving others along with the community. Her placement is with the UN High Commission for Refugees where she will work as a Protection Officer. Cecilia loves to learn about different cultures and ways of life, and looks forward to discovering DC. In her free time she enjoys long walks, reading, and playing the piano. She is grateful to have this opportunity to engage with both the beauty and hardship of the world, through Franciscan spirituality and practices.
