Bio:
Nancy Tuller is a recent graduate from the School for International Training, where she received her MA degree in Sustainable Development. Nancy completed her field work in Sri Lanka, where she worked on an economic development project with women in the tsunami-devastated community of Mirissa. The experience of working in a country also affected by conflict prompted Nancy to complete a certificate program in Conflict Resolution, complementing any future development work she undertakes. She has also interned with Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and with the Himalayan Institute of Environmental Research and Education in India, working with women in microlending activities in both countries. A lifetime advocate for peace, equality and justice, Nancy is committed to contributing to these goals. Towards that end, she seeks to specialize in microfinance solutions that help to alleviate poverty. An enthusiastic student of different cultures and ways of being, Nancy looks forward to her Kiva placement in Ghana, and to the new experiences and challenges that await her in Africa!
