Courtney Blankenship

Activist, Explorer, Global soul, Journalist, Musician

From Moreno Valley, California, I moved with my family to Kansas, where I have lived for the majority of my life and where I have discovered my passions and greatest friendships. As a student at Pittsburg State University, I have had the incredible opportunity to pursue many different interests and activities that have all ultimately led to the path I am currently on. In September of 2018, I will be departing for Morocco to serve as a Youth Development Specialist in the Peace Corps, after which, I plan to attend graduate school to pursue a Master's Degree in International Studies and a Doctoral Degree in Middle Eastern Studies.
