- Why are you here?
- I spent over a year working for Grameen America and several months working for Grameen Trust in Colombia and Mexico. As a result of my experiences, I wanted to find a way to help other students and young people get involved in the microfinance world.
As a result, I have helped start MFI Connect to provide students with opportunities for involvement in the field. I believe wholeheartedly in the potential of our generation to change the face of international development and rid this world of poverty through innovative solutions.
Feel free to email me anytime. I'm just a 20 year old who loves what I'm doing and wants to help the microfinance industry in any way I can.
Ideas for how to make the site better? Let me know.
- What are you currently working on?
- 1. Getting a contingent of students to attend the 2010 Microcredit Summit in Kenya.
2. Find a Professor willing to record their lectures to make it available to MFI Connect students.

Yes, Milla invited me to join her Twitter following and that is how I discovered them. Although, a year earlier, Dr. Stephen Covey may have mentioned them referencing the value of social networking. I'm not sure, but if he did, it went over my head - Green Children, what's that? Then Tom introduced me to your MFI group. I feel like I am being drawn in by converging forces, but it only works if one is receptive.
I will keep in touch when I have questions related to my learning. Thanks.

I am getting involved with the TDC at Mary Washington through Dr. Humphrey but so far I have been working more with his La Ceiba group. Thanks
