SIC Alumni Spotlight November 2011: Jess Warman
Posted by Meghan Corcoran on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Jess volunteered with SIC in 2007. She holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Masters in Nursing both from UCLA. This summer Jess climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with Caroline Mock with the Peaks Foundation, raising over $7,000 for SIC! On her trip, Jess was able to visit 3 teaching partners and her homestay family who remembered her and warmly welcomed her back to Majengo.
When she’s not climbing mountains, Jess works in group homes for children that have been taken by the Australian Department of Child Protection. Drawing on her nursing background, Jess will begin working in the operating theater at her local hospital next year. Volunteering with SIC helped Jess decided to pursue a career in nursing and medicine:
“I want to work in a career that can be used all over the world, and I hope to return to Africa as a nurse or doctor in my future.”
Please join me in thanking Jess for all her hard work for SIC and congratulating her on making it to the top of Kili!
