Bio:: Originally hailing from the Motor City, Karl has spent the last three years studying economics at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Last summer, he worked at the Centre for Microfinance, a research institute evaluating the impact of various microfinance products across India. While there, he worked on a project studying the impacts of a rural microcredit with education program being implemented in marginalized villages around Uttar Pradesh. Prior to this, he also volunteered as a teacher at Incawasi, a small school for disadvantaged children in Cajamarca, Peru. His passion for international development led him to Kiva where he hopes his fellowship will guide the direction of his proposed dissertation studying the impact of microfinance on household decision-making. He is an avid traveler whose adventures have found him hitching to Morocco and blow dart hunting in the Ecuadorian rain forest. He is excited to see where his Kiva Fellowship will lead him, first to Costa Rica and then parts unknown.
