Development Roast Giving international development a proper roasting
As part of continuous growth, INESAD and Development Roast are bringing on board a host of new interns. Join us in welcoming our newest addition Lorena Talavera:
Lorena is originally from Peru and she is currently an international student at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in England in pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree in International Development and Economics. She was awarded an International Development Scholarship by UEA’s School of International Development for the duration of her undergraduate degree studies.
While studying for the International Baccalaureate (IB) at Newton College in Peru, Lorena developed a passion for development ecnomics. Around the same time, she volunteered with a Peruvian nongovernmental organization called TECHO, where she spent time working with some of Lima’s disadvantaged communities on issues of emergency house building. Her experience with TECHO, with whom she is still involved, only confirmed that she wanted to contribute to the social welfare of her fellow citizens and country by studying and working in development.
Because of her background, throughout her studies at UEA, her passion for Latin American development has kept on growing and she clearly sees herself working in this field later on. At INESAD Lorena hopes to be an asset by contributing every way possible while learning and growing with a hands-on experience that puts all the theory into practice.
