Rick Cormier

The first person I ever interviewed was India's Prime Minister Morarji Desai at his suite at the United Nations Plaza Hotel as research for a two-year undergraduate project on Mahatma Gandhi. During my post-college years as a Director of Human Resources and later as a licensed, nationally certified psychotherapist, I conducted thousands of interviews, but none were as challenging as that first one.

When I was 22, if you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have answered, "a psychotherapist/ cook/ photographer/ musician who writes books". I've managed to fit all of those activities into my life. Now that I'm retired from treating mental health disorders, I spend my time doing "whatever is fun." That includes photography, writi

In 2002, following her junior year of college, she spent three months as a volunteer in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya and Lagos, Nigeria, living in poverty.
