Chào. I’m off to Vietnam soon.

Chào, I’m Katie Clancy, and I’m about to head off on an exciting journey to Vietnam in just a few weeks. I’m looking forward to supporting important sustainable initiatives and gaining valuable cross cultural experience with the Centre for Sustainable Rural Development (SRD) where I will be working as a Communications Officer.

Some of my passions include photography, soccer, yoga, baking and print-making. I like to think a diverse range of passions makes me well-rounded! One of my goals is to visit every country in the world. I have made some progress, but I still have a way to go.

As a student of development, I’m excited to work with SRD on projects relating to sustainability and rural agriculture, both of which will become increasingly important in the future. I’m interested in both policy areas and communications, so I hope this will be an opportunity to merge the two.

The last time I was in Asia, I did not have the opportunity to visit Vietnam. I promised myself that I would make the time to see the country, and I am excited to be able to do this in Hue. I’m excited to meet new people and to learn more about the rich history of Hue and of Vietnam. I’m brushing up on my Vietnamese. I’ll be sure to keep you all appraised of what happens along the way.
