Bio:
Meg is a recent graduate of Bowdoin College, where she studied history and was involved in many activities including intramural sports and several mentoring programs. Until recently, she worked at a non-profit organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that promotes the healthy development of young children. Her work focused on organizing early literacy initiatives and supporting low-income families as they work to become self-sufficient. Her interest in microfinance began in an economics course in college, but working with low-income families drove home the importance of such initiatives. Meg is very excited to explore both the culture and cuisine of Nicaragua and is hoping to learn to cook a few local dishes.
