Bio:
Eric recently graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in International Business. While at university, Eric had the opportunity to study and volunteer in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to study public policy in Israel, and to intern at the Argentine Consulate in Los Angeles. Growing up in Los Angeles and his abroad experiences sparked both his passion for community and international development and his interest in microfinance as a means to pursue this passion. After the fellowship at Kiva, Eric hopes to pursue a career in corporate social responsibility. A dedicated wanderer and surfer, Eric speaks Spanish and is looking forward to making some new friends in Guatemala.
