Ruth Chiumia, originally an intern at three+one during her junior year in college, has joined our team full time, after graduating from the University of Rochester with a BA in Political Science in May 2021. While attending the U of R, Ruth was actively engaged in the university’s Pan African Students Association.

Ruth began her undergrad studies at Jefferson Community College in 2017. She graduated at the top of her class in 2019, with an Associates Degree in Business Administration. During her two years at the Watertown college, Ruth served as a Student Ambassador, an Orientation Leader, and was inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success.

Born and raised in Malawi, a small, landlocked country in southeastern Africa, Ruth has had a lifelong passion for helping people and their communities. She has proven to be a devoted learner on a quest for knowledge. In her free time, you will likely find her with a book in hand, usually about developmental economics, African literature, or politics. Her love of languages has led her to be fluent in four: English, Chichewa, Tumbuka, and Tonga.

On weekends and vacations, Ruth enjoys traveling across the United States, experiencing what each state has to offer. But no matter where she is in the world, if you’re looking for her in the early hours of the day, check a gym first. For Ruth, staying fit has always been a top priority.
