Emily's hard work, leadership skills and street smarts inspire people everyday. Her knowlege in all aspects of personal finance makes everyone she works, both clients and co-workers, better. Emily leads by example and is incredibly generosity with her time and knowledge.

I first met Emily at the MicroFinance conference in NY in May 2011 where I found out she'd wanted to go so badly that her boyfriend bought her the ticket for her birthday. Who asks for a ticket to a micro-finance conference for their birthday gift? Emily! I sat with her during some quite dry sessions and watched as she took copious notes. She's so eager to learn and do whatever she can to help out. During her time at Kiva, while many interns were working only 3 days a week and living at their parents' house, she worked 5 days and also worked nights doing whatever she could to be able to afford her own housing while working fulltime at Kiva's unpaid internship. She has both big dreams and the tenacity and ambition to make those dreams come true. After meeting her at the conference, I'd recommended her to the head of the interns, stating "we have to get her!" and am so happy and proud that my impression was proven so accurate. She excelled at everything she did and proved to be a sponge ready to absorb any knowledge she could, whether it was about micro-finance or just about the city that she was in. If you're looking for someone ready, willing and capable to do anything thrown at her, look no further!
