Bio:
Gemma grew up in Colorado and received a B.A. in European History from the Colorado College. Her interest in international development grew out of her family's travels to developing countries. Gemma became interested in microfinance after interning for Friendship Bridge, an organization that provides microloans for women in Guatemala, where she learned about the social and economic impact loans can have on families and communities. Over the past few years, Gemma has worked with Seedco Financial Services, a nonprofit community development lender, and AfricAid, an organization that supports girls' education in Africa. Gemma is fluent in French but hopes to pick up some Khmer on this new adventure. She is very excited to be a Kiva fellow and to continue pursuing her interest in microfinance and international development.
