Hi everyone, & thank you for visiting our website! I want to introduce myself to anybody involved or interested in getting involved with Wausau Urban Community Gardens. My name is Jamie and I'll be working with WUCG as the AmeriCorps member at Bridge Community Health Clinic for the 2012-2013 season. I'm really excited to be here and to be working with such an awesome program!
A little about myself... I graduated from UW-Madison last year with my Bachelor's Degree in anthropology & African studies. I recently returned from Peace Corps service in Rwanda where I was a community health volunteer in a rural health center. I strive to help under-served populations that may not have easy access to quality health care and education. After my AmeriCorps service is completed I plan to return to graduate school for a Master's Degree in Public Health, focusing on health behavior and health promotion.
I'm new to the Wausau area but so far I'm really impressed by how welcoming everyone is and by the level of community service involvement throughout the community! I'm hoping to update this blog on a monthly basis for the coming year so be sure to stay tuned for interesting articles, healthy recipes, and garden updates!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, concerns, ideas, ANYTHING! My email address is jamiek@bridgeclinic.org and my phone number is 715-848-4884 ext. 2123. I hope to hear from you and look forward to working with you!
