Rebecca has three years of work and research experience in diverse areas, including small business development, microfinance, and international experiential education. She has also worked, studied, and traveled throughout all of Spanish-speaking Central America and the Caribbean, involved in everything from primary education to rural agriculture. Currently, she works at her alma mater, Northeastern University, as the primary advisor for students doing international internships in community development and public health in the developing world. While she believes wholeheartedly in the importance and transformative power of students having immersive work experiences abroad, her heart lies in her academic specialty, social entrepreneurship. Rebecca is excited to channel her strong skills in leadership, problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication to grow her business acumen, while making a valuable contribution to a social business in helping them grow or measure their impact. Her fluency in Spanish, cultural competencies in Latin America, and adaptability will allow her to learn and contribute quickly in the areas of business development/strategy or impact measurement. – See more at: http://www.miis.edu/student-life/world/stories/node/39608#sthash.1KmnqNOZ.dpuf
