Richard Hammond

I graduated in 2014 from Penn State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture and a minor in Environmental Inquiry. After graduating, I worked for the Penn State Hamer Center for Community Design assisting with mapping and analysis work related to natural gas development in Pennsylvania. I then served in the Peace Corps in Zambia for 27 months from 2015 – 2017. While in Zambia I focused on teaching about improved farming practices, home gardening, tree planting, healthy cooking, and food processing projects. I also served as a provincial coordinator for the Peace Corps Zambia Malaria Committee. Currently I work as a Landscape Architect/Planner and also volunteer with OpenStreetMap Zambia, assisting with their social media. I have a strong interest in GIS, Planning, Conservation, Food Security, and Botany.
