About Me	I joined the US State Department in 1979 and have worked on environmental diplomacy since. I am retired from serving as the Agency Environmental Coordinator for the US Agency for International Development - the branch of the US foreign policy that provides economic and social development to over 100 of the world's poorest countries and countries undergoing conflict. I have traveled to over 70 countries in this capacity.
