Eva is a South Minneapolis native and earned her B.S. in Marketing with a concentration in International Business and a minor in Spanish from the University of Kansas. After graduation, she spent time in Peru as an art instructor at an educational NGO and later she moved to Australia to work at a music school in a regional community. Both of these experiences inspired her to dedicate a year to AmeriCorps VISTA at the International Institute of Minnesota to work with adult students in her home community. After working with refugees, asylees, and immigrants working towards their educational goals, Eva is extremely interested in educational opportunities, equity, and development for refugees and internally displaced people.
