Blake Ryan

Get to Know Us

I am originally from New Orleans Louisiana, but I’ve lived in Raleigh NC for most of my life. I joined AmeriCorps because I was looking for a meaningful way to gain real world experience after college. After my AmeriCorps year, I plan to move to New Orleans, and continue working with nonprofit and immigration. I am passionate about travel and culture and helping others, hence my interest in immigration. In my free time, I enjoy spending lots of time with family, friends and my pets. A fun fact about me is that I have a goal of the visiting 25 countries before I turn 25, and so far, I’m at 15.
