Bio:
Rebecca Elizabeth Yeong Ae Corey was born in Daegu, South Korea, and raised in Athens, Georgia. An adoptee herself, she traveled to Peru at age five to help her parents adopt her little sister. Witnessing extreme poverty and need at such an early age left a permanent mark and inspired her to search for solutions to poverty throughout her life. While pursuing a joint degree in Anthropology and English at the University of Georgia, Rebecca devoted much of her time to volunteering in the local community and abroad. Her past travels include journeys to Peru, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Switzerland, Tanzania, Zambia, Ecuador, The Galapagos Islands, Hungary, Romania, Austria, France and South Korea. While working as a volunteer in Tanzania in 2007, Rebecca co-founded the non-profit VolunteerAlliance, an organization that promotes volunteerism, cultural exchange, and sustainable development. While in Tanzania, Rebecca will be a graduate student at the Institute of Development Studies of the University of Dar es Salaam in addition to her work as a Kiva Fellow. If you find her in her natural habitat, she will probably be writing, practicing Swahili, playing guitar, watching soccer, or experimenting with her Canon Rebel T1i.
