About Carlos Encalada
CitizenPowered.org member since Thu 01-17-2008
I am a 25 year young non-professional, progressive man who is interested in cutting through the noise and connecting with real people. I graduated with a Computer Science degree and realized that wasn't for me. Went to Peace Corps for 2 years, grew my hair long, and came back. Now I want to be a social worker/therapist using meditation and Buddhist concepts as a guide. Naropa might be in my future. Right now I am an editor for a math textbook project at University of Chicago. In a year, who knows where I will be? For now though, I would like to connect with the community of people around me.
