Originally from the Bay Area, Katherine is excited to return to San Francisco after spending the last year in London completing her master’s degree in Global Politics at the London School of Economics. Her studies, as well as previous involvement with organizations dedicated to youth education, have drawn her to the nonprofit sector for its creative and passionate approach to addressing social issues. In the past five years, Katherine has studied and lived in Oxford, Ohio; Boston; Paris; Seville, Spain; and London – she looks forward to contributing to an organization such as Kiva that embodies the valuable potentials of interconnectedness between regions of the U.S. and the world at large. Katherine spends most of her free time hoping Chelsea FC will pick up the slack in the English Premier League.
