In 2014 and 2017 I worked in Matagalpa, Nicaragua as a project manager for a youth leadership and community development NGO. I served in crisis management, project budgeting, and quantitative evaluation of program efficacy. I also integrated my research into NGO programming in 2017 with a field survey that tested the mechanisms by which NGOs engender enhanced civil society. In Nicaragua, I have collaborated with the NGOS, PRODESSA, Red Arcoiris, Movimiento Comunal, and UCA San Ramón.
