Mercy Corps Team Members Talk About Their Work

Lorina

Lorina McAdam, Country Director, Democratic Republic of the Congo ›

Lorina McAdam is a female Mercy Corps country director in a place – the Democratic Republic of the Congo – where strong women are the norm. In fact, she said, being a foreigner stands out more than being a woman. So while she’s sensitive to the gender issue, it doesn’t hold her back.

Geri Manzano, Donor Relations Representative, Global Headquarters ›
