MARK LEGGIERO

Hi, I'm Mark! I'm from Oviedo, Florida, and have lived and journeyed throughout the southeastern US. I have always been drawn to technical projects, which paired with my education in Physics and Mechanical Engineering. However at home, my large adoptive family kept me globally-minded, which led me to focus on community development and poverty alleviation.

​

My journey to combine engineering practice with global development projects (often called Humanitarian Engineering) culminated in joining the Peace Corps Kenya in 2022 as a volunteer STEM Education Teacher. Currently, I am teaching Math and Physics in Kakamega county high school and working on school programs and infrastructure. I am also experimenting with sustainable agriculture and raising Guinea fowl (a beautiful, and loud, African bird). In my free time I enjoy hiking, biking, baking, and small mechatronics projects.
