Lisa Dietz began taking Spanish in middle school. That led her to a "transformative" trip to Ecuador in high school, and to studying Spanish language and literature in college. Voted "most likely to become an anthropologist" in high school, Lisa joined the Peace Corps after after college, then pursued a career in international development that has taken her from the Special Olympics to the World Wildlife Fund, back to Ecuador, and now to Washington, D.C. with an international refugee organization. She tells us about her work, growing up as a triplet, and how Kelly Cutrone's books were her picks to take with her to Ecuador.
