Originally from Atlanta, Darcey graduated from Tulane University with a bachelor’s degree in International Development and Political Science. While at Tulane, Darcey had the opportunity to travel throughout South America, including a semester abroad in Chile. She became interested in microfinance in 2011, when she led a group of students on a trip to Nicaragua to meet with entrepreneurs, businesses and nonprofits as part of a greater investigation into various methods of spurring economic development. After graduation, Darcey spent time as a member of AmeriCorps working with the Boys and Girls Club of New Orleans, before becoming a Kiva intern and briefly working as the Kiva Fellows Program Coordinator. After almost a year of sending other great people out on Kiva Fellowships, Darcey is excited to finally have an adventure of her own. She will be serving with WSDS-Initiate and People’s Forum in Eastern India.
