Bio:
Emily graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara where she studied Business/Economics and Global Studies with an emphasis in Latin American socioeconomics. During her senior year in college she lived abroad in Santiago, Chile, where she studied Latin American economies and volunteered at a small non-profit where she helped plan workshops and events that promoted community development. Emily’s passion for travel led her on backpacking trips through Latin America and Europe, where she eventually settled in Barcelona, Spain and taught English to adult professionals for one year. For the past two years, she has combined her love of running and her desire to work for a prominent non-profit by managing the Team in Training Marathon program in San Francisco for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Emily is excited to gain first hand experience in microfinance and plans to pursue an MBA and career in international development. She speaks Spanish and hopes to pick up some Quechua while in Peru.
