Hi! I'm Michele.
I am a Community Health Educator in Cambodia with Peace Corps. I work with health professionals, village volunteers, and primary school teachers in a semi-rural area of Pursat province to improve health outcomes through prevention education and improvements
in health infrastructure.
I experience the world through movement, through my camera lens, through tastes and textures and sounds. I'll try to share what's going on in my head during these 27 months and use this as a public space to reflect and introspect.
If you are interested in my photography and videography, my online portfolio can be found here.

'Khmer' is actually pronounced 'Khmai', but let's pretend it works for the sake of my blog name.
