These guys were a great micro-finance organization that did work with hopeful entrepreneurs in Liberia. 

I developed and maintained the social media strategy in order to expand Trinity Effect's message into the rapidly growing micro-finance market, composed content for the website, blog, emails, and newsletters directed toward their target audience.

It was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about micro-finance and it enabled me to refine my ability to  hone my writing voice for a more professional non-profit market.
