Jerry Kim
New to the left coast, Jerry recently returned to the States after working at a public relations firm in Seoul, South Korea. She received her BA in Communication Studies at Virginia Tech, where she worked at the university and local broadcast TV station, played on the club tennis team and attended many, many Hokie football games. Jerry is passionate about traveling—would love to be a modern-day nomad; shopping—you can never have enough shoes or LBDs; food & chocolate—has the ultimate sweet tooth; running— live for the feeling of sore muscles; and, of course, family—the epitome of true & unconditional love. Last year, she was dumbfounded by the atrocity that is modern-day slavery and her life was forever changed.

Anna Phou
Originally from Portland, Oregon, Anna quit her job and moved down to Half Moon Bay, California in September 2011 to start volunteering with Not For Sale and to follow her heart. Anna has always been passionate about social justice. But when she is not working to change the world (which is almost always) she likes to pretty much do nothing! But most of the time she ends up: hanging out with friends, spending lots of time in a bookstore, reading, watching tv, snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing and pretty much anything. She could not be more excited to be with Not For Sale for the next 6 months.
