I then worked at Peace Corps Washington from 1987-1989 in the North Africa, Near East, Asia, and Pacific Region office as the Desk Officer for the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles, the Comoros programs. Then became the Training Officer for the NANEAP Region and as the Training Officer for the opening of the Peace Corps Program in Vladivostok from 1990-1992.
