katie in fiji • about

katie in fiji is a photojournalism blog that I started in early October, 2023 to share my Peace Corps experience via both visual and literary means. I am currently a Peace Corps Volunteer in Naitasiri, Fiji focused on community economic development. I hope any reader who is here can get an authentic glimpse into my time in Fiji and find something interesting or thought-provoking through my photos and words. 

My decision to join the Peace Corps was a big step in a very different direction for me. Prior to the Peace Corps, I lived in San Francisco for 5 years and worked as a management consultant. I want to move towards doing more people-centric and impact-focused work. I hope I can learn more about myself while volunteering with the Peace Corps and come out of it with a stronger sense of self.
