While there, she worked with a local non-profit creating a new ME&L system for the organization, assisting with programming for vulnerable populations, and incorporating gender components into the local clinic. Becca approaches international development through a community based approach drawing from an array of international experiences, her educational background, and working alongside her community in Botswana.
