Location:
London, London, United Kingdom
Occupation:
Consultant
I loan because:
i've now seen first hand that microfinance can work....under the right conditions!
About me:
I worked with Kiva for 6 months as a Kiva Fellow in Senegal between December 2009 and April 2010. Before that I was working as a management consultant advising on business strategies. Having got a taste of microfinance 'in the field' I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Development Studies and hope to continue to work in the sector.

Bio:
Nicki has been working as a management consultant since graduating in 2004. Her project assignments have taken her all over the UK and France to work for clients in a wide range of industries on various strategic issues. In 2007, Nicki took a career break to explore Latin America and spend some time with a charity operating in microfinance. It was during this time that she also first discovered Kiva and became more interested in the role of microfinance in providing the poorest people with better opportunities. On her return to London, Nicki took on various pro-bono projects with organisations working towards achieving equality of opportunity for all: both in terms of financial services and access to education. She hopes that a second ‘career break’ serving as a Kiva Fellow will give her a real insight into microfinance ‘on the ground’ and is excited to be returning once again to work in a Francophone environment.
