Annie grew up in Singapore and Japan before moving to the U.S. to attend Pomona College in Claremont, California. At Pomona, she studied Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. During college, she worked on a congressional campaign, helped rally support for the DREAM Act, and held internships at a women’s economic empowerment nonprofit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, at the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C., and at the U.S. Mission to NATO in Brussels, Belgium. After graduating, she worked at a startup in San Francisco before accepting a fellowship with New Sector Alliance to work on a research study examining the state of philanthropy in the tech sector. Annie will be working with Kiva in Kosovo and Albania, and is very excited to be able to work directly with Kiva’s enterprising borrowers. Annie loves to run, draw things, and go places she’s never been before.
