Leeda was born in California, but grew up in Michigan and earned her Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Michigan in 2013. Although attending the University of Michigan didn’t take her too far from home, her interest in international business and development was sparked by a sophomore year summer internship in Istanbul, Turkey. After graduation, she joined a consulting firm in Chicago and worked for two years in their financial markets group. As a member of the KF28 class, she is very excited about the opportunity to witness microfinance in action, and to work with Grameen Ghana and Ghana Women Fund.
