Kelly Keehan A 2003 graduate of the George Washington University, Kelly earned her undergraduate degree in international affairs.

After graduation, she worked briefly for a World Bank consultant before receiving a Fulbright grant to Taiwan. After her year in Asia, Kelly returned to Washington, D.C., to work with Conservation International. There she oversaw the administration of a portfolio of more than 100 grants to civil society groups across Asia. In 2007, she joined ACDI/VOCA where she has been managing a program to empower smallholder cocoa farmers in Indonesia. As a first-year student at SAIS, Kelly is continuing this work while pursuing her M.A. in International Relations with a concentration in Southeast Asia Studies. |
