Kayla Rose Gilchrist
I am from Starbuck, Minnesota and moved to Spain as a teenager. I lived there for several years, completing my undergraduate degree in Literature and International Relations at St. Louis University in Madrid. I am a dual-degree IPS/T&I (Spanish) student and am very interested in working with the communities in the Bajo Lempa on their microcredit lending system as well as learning more about the process of valuating the mangroves from my fellow students in the IEP program!

I am from Carmel Valley, CA and completed my undergrad at Seattle Pacific University in Global Development Studies. I am a second year MPA student and I came to MIIS because I was excited to find a public administration program with a focus in international work and development. I look forward to working with Team El Salvador 7 this coming January and get my hands dirty with some field experience.
