Erin Rudegeair

Erin recently received her BS in Geography and a minor in Spanish from the Pennsylvania State University. Through Penn State, she received ample opportunities to travel to, work and live in Latin America including three previous trips to Honduras and a semester abroad in Argentina. Erin has traveled to Honduras as a member of Penn State Global Medical Brigades where she was able to participate in basic medical "brigades" in rural communities from Lempira to El Paraiso. With a background in studying issues of poverty and development, Erin has realized that quality education is essential for any person, community or society to obtain a better future. She hopes that through her experience as a BECA volunteer she will be able to learn and grow just as much as she will teach.
