Community and Strategy Development Associate

Steven

Nice to meet you, my name is Steven Sohn. I am a huge fan of International Education Peace Volunteers (I like to call it IEPV). The community is incredibly vibrant, I get a sneak peak into the beautiful diversity in the world, while making great, lasting friendships. I am a strategy analytics professional, and help out with the organization where I can, from supporting grant development, creating pitch decks, and coming out to the events when I am in town!
