To Costa Rica We Go!

Hello Glimpsers!

My name is Kijai Banks! I will be one of your GGLs on your trip to Costa Rica. I am the Technology Coordinator at Lindblom Math and Science Academy. I have been working there for a year now. In my spare time I love to read, listen to music, and travel! My favorite place to be on weekends is Barnes and Noble and TopGolf. This will be my second time traveling with Global Glimpse, but my first time as a GGL. I traveled during my junior year of high school to Riobamba, Ecuador in 2016 as a Glimpser. 7 years ago, I was in your position. I loved my trip and my GGLs so much that I wanted to come back and lead a trip. I am excited to meet all of you and excited for the opportunity to join you as you learn about a new place. See you soon!

Kijai, super cool to have you lead a trip as an alum this year and hear that you were in the student position exactly 7 years ago. No one better to understand what it is like to be a glimpser then someone who was in the same position!
