- Bio:
- Gabe was born in sunny California but inherited his southern charm from a childhood spent in Kentucky. In college at UC Irvine, Gabe juggled Economics and Computer Science coursework while competing in varsity Rowing, serving as UC Senate student representative, and studying for a year abroad in Barcelona, Spain. After graduation Gabe worked for a tech start-up before taking time off to circumnavigate the globe. It was on that trip, while teaching English at a Thai schoolhouse on the border of Myanmar, that he became inspired to improve education opportunities for impoverished communities. However it wasnt until he attended a lecture by Mohammed Yunus at Google, where he has worked for the past 5 years as an Analytics Evangelist, that he discovered micro-finance as a tool to make his difference. After spending most of 2009 developing Google's Web Analytics market in Argentina, Gabe recently moved to New York where he has helped organizations like the United Nations and Grameen America improve their internet presence. Gabe feels honored to have been chosen as a Kiva Fellow and is excited to combine his passion for economics, technology, and adventure to work hands-on with entrepreneurs in southern Costa Rica. Si, habla espaol e recentemente termino seu primeira aula de portugus.
