Erin Mone was Marissa Larma's direct supervisor for the last six months of her Peace Corps service and technical trainer previously. She writes that Marissa was a true asset to the program, dedicated to working with children and youth in Costa Rica. Marissa upheld the values of the Peace Corps constitution and enhanced her Spanish abilities by fully integrating into Costa Rican culture. Erin describes Marissa as an innovative self-starter who improves systems and looks for alternative solutions to challenges through her creativity and determination. This is evident in Marissa's work on sensitive topics like sexuality with various groups in Costa Rica, communicating alternatives respectfully across cultures. Erin recommends Marissa and offers to provide more details.
