Smith was attracted to join the Peace Corps because of the travel and career opportunities.
"I love to travel and the Peace Corps is a great way to see a part of the world that I might never have been to otherwise," Smith said. "The Peace Corps is a good starting point for a career in international aid work. My technology experience enabled me to get into a really great program, and it sort of serves as a halfway point between what I've been doing and what I want to do."
