North American Personnel
Projects Abroad Inc., which has offices in New York City and Toronto, is responsible for helping Americans and Canadians pick out the projects that might suit them. They also help spread the word about our projects by managing contacts with high schools, universities, student groups and gap year advisors.
 | Tom Pastorius - Head of North American Recruitment Tom runs Projects Abroad in New York, our exclusive outlet in the USA. Tom graduated from Princeton University and he has visited a number of our destinations - he's always eager to get out and see another part of the world. Tom enjoys running and the outdoor life. |
 | Robert Levine - Director, Projects Abroad Canada Rob began his adventures with Projects Abroad back in 2005 when he helped create our Drama Placement in Romania. After returning to Brasov several times to cultivate the program, he has come to consider the country his second home. An Ottawa native (go Senators!), he now lives in Toronto where he runs our exclusive Canadian office. In life, Rob cherishes two very different, but equally essential pursuits: theatre and maple sugar candies. |
 | Will Harper - Director for US Will was a volunteer back in the summer of 2003, when he set up a program that takes orphans to important historical sites throughout Romania. He has also spent a summer in the Middle East researching his senior thesis and just finished his B.A. in Art History from Yale University. Will was a rugby player in college and used to work at an airport refueling planes in his free time. |
 | Kelsy Nelson - Program Advisor Voted "Most American" by her Projects Abroad peers, Kelsy hails from the sunny shores of Oakland, California.

 | Allison Kean - Program Advisor Having grown up in Timmins, a city in Northern Ontario, Allison learned the trick to staying warm during the cold Canadian winters - travelling to warmer climates! On her quest for warmer winters, she spent time volunteering on a building project in Costa Rica as well as at an orphanage in Peru. In her free time, Allison enjoys making crafts, especially any craft involving construction paper, sparkles and/or glue. |
 | Olga Tymejczyk - Program Advisor Olga, who is Ukrainian, grew up in Poland and Germany. She just graduated from Harvard with a B.A. in Latin American Studies.
