Veronica Dickson La Rotta joins GHD after two years at Global Integrity, a DC-based non-profit that works with civil society and government partners to tackle complex problems around anti-corruption, open governance, and transparency and accountability. She is interested in refining her skills to support locally-led development initiatives and aspires to a career where her contributions help build more fair, transparent and representative systems of governance. Born in Brazil to Colombian and Argentine parents, Veronica spent a decade living in Asia before completing her education in the United States. She holds a degree from Cornell University in Industrial and Labor Relations and a minor in China and Asia Pacific Studies. Upon graduation, she moved to China to work as a Princeton in Asia Fellow in the heart of rural Yunnan province, and subsequently moved to Hanoi to work in business development at GHC, a Vietnamese consulting firm. Veronica loves the outdoors and living in places where she can slip away into the woods with a sturdy backpack and a great book.
