About

This summer I am in the Philippines interning with Hybrid Social Solutions (HSSi), a social enterprise that empowers rural off-grid communities through solar electrification. I am working on the  the development of the Philippines' first Solar Access Center for a rural off-grid community on the island of Palawan. The center will be a sustainable, revenue-generating community space, powered by photovoltaic panels. I will be based in Manila and then later in the summer I  will travel to El Nido on the island of Palawan where the development of the center will take place. I'll provide updates on the project progress as well my daily musings, weekend adventures, and new foods I try!
