Kathryn McLeod
A few years ago, she had an insane dream that would require her to leave her job, sell her possessions, buy a one-way ticket to Africa and risk everything…
In 2012, she made that dream a reality by co-founding a web-based initiative geared towards raising the awareness of Global Citizenship and eco-tourism.
Was she scared? You bet! Confident that this project would would broaden her mind and shape her future? Absolutely!
"Together we can help students thrive."
