Ally Wilson graduated from the College of Saint Benedict with a Bachelor of Arts in Hispanic Studies and mathematics. She spent half of the past year volunteering in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico with Centro Infantil de Los Angeles — a preschool that provides free high-quality education to families in need. She spent the other half of the year volunteering in Granada, Nicaragua with Opportunity International Nicaragua — a nonprofit focused on ending poverty through community economic development. She has also worked as research intern for Mujeres en Cambio, a donor funded scholarship organization for girls in San Miguel, Mexico. Today, she looks forward to starting the MDP program to become a more effective development practitioner especially regarding global poverty and women’s rights in Latin America.
