Felicia joined Maasai Partners’ Board of Directors in 2018, shortly after finishing her Peace Corps service in Zambia. She was eager to continue working in the East African region after returning home, so when founder Judy Lane invited her to sit on the Board, she was happy to accept. In 2023, she started working more closely with Maasai Partners as the Social Media & Scholarship Program Coordinator. In 2024, she accompanied Judy to Tanzania to see the program for herself, and fell in love with Maasai culture and the kind-hearted people who inhabit this beautiful country. In 2025, Felicia became the Managing Director of Maasai Partners, in addition to the Treasurer of the board. She feels blessed to continue working in Africa, both learning from and supporting the Maasai.

Despite the recent transition to working in Tanzania, Zambia still holds a special place in her heart, and she continues to visit her host family and friends there when opportunity allows. From 2015-2017 she volunteered under the Community Health Improvement Project, using her college background in Holistic Health at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. After graduating from UMass, while awaiting acceptance by the Peace Corps, Felicia started working on a nearby organic vegetable farm. She quickly saw the value in growing food, enjoyed the work, and continued farming through her Peace Corps service and beyond. She resides with her partner on a small farm in central Massachusetts, and enjoys volunteering with the East Quabbin Land Trust.
