Bio:
Suzy comes from a background in nonprofit fundraising, activism, and advocacy. She majored in Spanish and Political Science, with a minor in International Relations; during college, she also studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain. She organized a large awareness rally in Santa Barbara for Invisible Children and interned for two years at Direct Relief International in Corporate Relations. These experiences led Suzy to spend a summer in East Africa, teaching English and computer literacy to adult women and children. She then returned to her hometown of San Diego where she worked for a large health charity as an event coordinator and fundraiser. Suzy is also a member of the San Diego Padres' Pad Squad, a rally team of goodwill ambassadors with skills in the art of slingshotting t-shirts. She brings to Kiva her proficiency in Spanish and a wholehearted passion for the sustainability of microfinance. She plans to attend law school and pursue a career in human rights law.
