"I want to do graduate studies in economic development, and would like to round out academic theories and models with a real-world understanding of the problems facing developing countries."

Anastasia is from Moscow, Russia. She studied Political Science and French at Cornell University and began her career working on Capitol Hill and at various media outlets in Washington, D.C. Prior to joining GHC, she worked in New York City with NBC Universal's advertising partners to plan and execute event campaigns and manage the 2012 London Olympics effort for the NBC stations division. As a volunteer, she translated loan applications from French and Russian into English for the microfinance organization Kiva, co-captained the Kiva New York Lending Team, and chaired the Marketing Committee for ACCION USA's Microfinance Council. After working with The Access Project in Rwanda through GHC, Anastasia hopes to study international economic development in graduate school and to one day save the world by structuring highly exotic microfinance securities.
