RESUME
Dear Peace Corps,
In May 2020, I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor
of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies focusing in Health and Education with a minor in Nonprofit Management. I would love to volunteer with this organization in pursuit of furthering my understanding of the world while implementing what I’ve studied in the field of health education.
The fields of Health, Education, and Non-Profit Management are so diverse, broad, and ever changing which is how I might classify myself. Because I thrive on change and growth, I believe I would succeed with the Peace Corps which encapsulates such characteristics. Serving the greater good is my passion and the best way I feel I can make an impact is if I am able to work in an environment that serves people through education and health development, preferably in the Peace Corps. With mission trip experience in low income areas of Costa Rica and Peru, I have first-hand been able to see the levels of poverty and lack of healthcare provided in second and third world countries. Interning with Florida Breast Cancer Foundation and working alongside professionals in the field, I have been able to assist in educating people of their health, work alongside medical professionals, as well as improve many people's living conditions. Although I've been on service trips in the states, seeing environments out of the country has opened my eyes to the amount of resources so many seek. Global health and education should be a critical concern, which is why I aspire to volunteer with the Peace Corps and learn the various ways in which I can make a difference in the lives of others.
The enclosed resume will give you additional background information. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss my qualifications and opportunities with the Peace Corps.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sophia Castellucci
