Hi, my name is Danielle Carpenter. I am originally from Billings, Montana. I grew up in a very large family which includes five brothers and two sisters, which makes me the oldest of eight children. After high school, I moved to Bozeman, MT where I completed my undergraduate degree in Health and Human Development. While working on my undergraduate degree, I was able to travel to a number of different countries. During my travels, I was able to attain a glimpse of what life was like within a few different cultures. It was those small flashes of insight that changed my life. Before I traveled around the world, other cultures seemed very distant and far removed from me, yet I am now very passionate about working in some form of international development. I believe I would like to work in North Africa with children who do not have a family system.
