Maggie is from Cincinnati, Ohio and completed her undergraduate studies at Loyola University Chicago. She then served with Jesuit Volunteer Corps at a primary and secondary school in Tacna, Peru, where she worked as an English Teaching Assistant and Pastoral Team Coordinator; it was in the desert of southern Peru that she discovered her passion for the environment and climate change mitigation. Upon returning to the U.S., Maggie worked with the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) researching trafficking in persons, illegal mining, and the orange economy. Before starting with GHD, she supported Mercy Corps’ VenEsperanza program, a consortium effort that provides cash transfers to migrants and refugees in Colombia. At Georgetown, Maggie is completing a dual specialization in Environment and Climate and Quantitative Analysis, as well as studying Portuguese.
