Josh Balser

With an interest in Latin American culture as well as extensive experience working as a Summer Camp counselor, Josh purposefully sought out a challenging teaching position in Honduras. Josh graduated from George Washington University in May 2010 where he minored in Spanish, spent a semester in Argentina, and studied Latin American history. Josh participated in the Nation's Triathlon in 2009, where he raised over $2,400 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through Team in Training. Josh writes that "it was during my study abroad that I decided my involvement with Latin America was hardly over, but rather beginning." Josh plans to use his on-the-ground experience teaching in Honduras as a first step towards a career in international economic development.
