Kiva Lender Michele
Location:
Austin, TX, United States
Occupation:
stay at home mom; former teacher
I loan because:
I am drawn to the stories of people who are working hard to do the best for themselves and their families. How could you not lend a hand when the opportunity presents itself? Lending is a vote for hope and positive change.
About me:
Prior to having children, I was a middle school Spanish teacher and then an elementary gifted & talented educator. I now stay home with my 2 small children and continue in a volunteer position as a Gifted Children's Advocate.
