It is with a profound sense of gratitude that I will be stepping down from my position as Executive Director of 33 Buckets.
Since joining the team in 2017, I have served the organization as an intern, volunteer, and eventually as its director and leader. Over these six years, 33 Buckets has given me the opportunity to spend a total of over 2 years abroad visiting and working in 35+ communities in the Cusco region of Peru.
