Nina's Program
Hello! My name is Nina and I am one of the Program Leaders for Session 1 of the service program in Mohammedia, Morocco this summer. I live in Brooklyn, New York, and I just finished my first year of graduate school, where I am studying international education. I am so excited to return to Morocco where I spent a semester studying abroad (through CIEE!) while in college, and will do my best to share the beauty of Moroccan culture, people, and landscapes in these blog posts. Thanks for reading!
