Aloha! I'm Julie- a Junior Leverite, concentrating in Economics and hailing from Staten Island, NY. I'm so excited to be serving as Co-Director with Irina this year, and can't wait to make some positive changes to our organization! Last spring break I experienced the glory of Lexington, KY and this year I'll be exploring San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
Irina Perjar, DirectorHey! I'm currently a junior in Quincy House hailing from Vale, NC, and I am a co-director with Julie Chan. My concentration is Molecular and Cellular Biology, with a focus on population genetics. Last year I participated in the Kentucky trip with Habitat, but my involvement with the organization has mainly been as summer volunteer and then summer director. Having put so much effort into making this program the best it can be, Habitat truly does mean a lot to me! I look forward to working with the rest of the board and our other volunteers to accomplish Habitat's mission!
Donnarae Wade, Trips LiasonHey! I'm Donnarae, a junior in Dunster House, and I am concentrating in Psychology/Neuroscience. I'm serving as the Trips Liaison for Habitat's international trips this year. I've participated in a few Habitat trips before, and this year I'm going on one of our international trips to Guatemala, which I'm very excited about! Aside from this, I am involved with the Harvard Concert Commission, and Model United Nations, but Habitat is by far one of my favorite things to do on campus.
Lydia Karch, Weekend Trips CoordinatorHey everyone! My name is Lydia, I am one of the weekend trip co-directors and I am currently a junior residing in the undeniably beautiful and wonderful house of Currier here on campus. I am a social anthropology major, with a secondary in health policy and potentially pre-med, although that changes pretty much every day. Besides Habitat, I am also the Currier HoCo Publicity chair, a volunteer at the Harvard Square Homeless shelter, and a happily employed usher at Memorial Hall on the weekends. I participated in and co-led spring break trips to Lexington, KY in 2008 and San Pedro Sula, Honduras in 2009. I enjoy Gossip Girl, cheesy chick flicks, too much coffee and beautiful fall days in Cambridge. I would love to see any and all of you on a weekend build, so please e-mail me with any questions you have about that! In closing, I <3 Habitat.
Bill Rose, Weekend Trips CoordinatorHey! I'm Bill, a sophomore in Adams House concentrating in Social Studies. I'm one of three weekend trips coordinators for Harvard Habitat this year. In the past I've been on Saturday trips all over Massachusetts and on an intercession trip to Punta Gorda, Florida. Besides Habitat, I am on the UC and am active at the Institute of Politics. I look forward to seeing you all on weekend trips and having a great year with Habitat!
