Ronda joined the UPOP team in August 2006 after working in campus recruiting at Amazon.com in Seattle, WA.  Prior to Amazon, Ronda lived in Japan for three years where she taught English and completed her Master's degree in Education.  Before heading off to Japan, Ronda worked in HR/staffing roles at Corestaff, a staffing services agency, and Keane Inc., an IT services company. Ronda earned her BA in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Washington after taking some time to backpack around the world.  She has recently discovered a new hobby in photography and continues to enjoy the adventure of exploring Boston and all that the Northeast has to offer.
