Bio:
Megan is currently pursuing a doctorate in cultural anthropology at Southern Methodist University, concentrating on researching human health, economic development, and globalization, with a particular focus on microfinance. In the first grade, she acquired the desire to travel the world and work to improve the lives of others while listening to a Jesuit missionary discuss his humanitarian missions to Papua New Guinea at her Pennsylvania elementary school. Fifteen years later, while a student at IUP, she made her first journey abroad on an archaeology study trip to Belize and Guatemala. This trip confirmed the goal she had since a young age and she decided to become an anthropologist to study the puzzles of overcoming humanity's struggles. Her anthropological work took her to Spain, Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia. Megan is looking forward to launching her partnership with Kiva and helping FODEMI, her host MFI in Ecuador, learn every aspect of their new partnership with Kiva. She hopes the Kiva Fellowship will mark the beginning of a long career exploring microfinance.
