I loan because:
As a student of international development, I'm interested in market-based solutions to poverty. I like the fact that Kiva helps microfinance institutions around the world expand the number of people they can serve.
About me:
I'm currently a graduate student, working toward a Master's Degree in International Relations at The Fletcher School, Tufts University. Prior to becoming a student again, I worked as a Social Worker in the Boston area.

Bio:
Courtney is finishing up a Master's Degree in Law and Diplomacy at The Fletcher School, Tufts University with concentrations in Human Security and Humanitarian Studies. Courtney's experience in the Peace Corps working on a fish farming project in rural Zambia first piqued her interest in international development and poverty alleviation. Last summer she worked with a San Diego based NGO, Project Concern International, on public health and humanitarian assistance projects at their office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Courtney is looking forward to gaining experience in the world of microfinance and is excited to return to Latin America, where she had the opportunity to study abroad some years back.
