Speaker Information

Michaela Hackner is the Director of Online Strategy at World Learning, a US non-profit organization that hosts study abroad, international development degree programs, and international development projects globally. In her former life she was a web developer for the private sector, with a stint in humanitarian aid analysis, and most recently overseas for a year and a half working for a women's micro-finance program in Cambodia and Kenya. Shifting to international development work in 2005, Michaela recognized the need for technology expertise within non-profit organizations - both in terms of marketing and communications purposes, and for the delivery of services to constituents/beneficiaries. Taking advantage of her varied background, Michaela seeks to make the internet and technology accessible for all non profits and their audiences as well as exploiting it for the good of humanity. Michaela has a masters degree in Communication, Culture and Technology from Georgetown University, and a self-designed bachelors degree in web design and multimedia from Pennsylvania State University. She has worked in every sector imaginable: private, government, non-profit, and education. Besides her work in non-profit technology, Michaela loves hot yoga, is an amateur photographer, and travels extensively with her dog Atlas. She hosts a personal blog over at Thoughts From the Girl Next Door.
