Why I work at Everyday Democracy:
I believe the only way to have a real democracy is by creating spaces where people can talk about the issues affecting them and plan for possible solutions.
Everyday Democracy’s Dialogue to Change process offers a way of doing that and as part of the Evaluation and Learning Team, I can help measure the impact our work is having.
What I love about what I do:
As part of the Evaluation and Learning Team I enjoy exploring and analyzing data. I believe Evaluation is important to assess the impact and areas of growth for our different programs and initiatives. I also love being able to hear different stories of change from the people we work with.
How I got here:
I’m originally from Puerto Rico where I studied Social Community Psychology. I am passionate about environmental justice and for my Master’s Degree thesis I studied how different environmental groups in Puerto Rico organized themselves to achieve their goals. I moved to Connecticut after Hurricane Maria; and I’ve recently joined the Evaluation and Learning Team at Everyday Democracy.
What I do when I’m not helping communities create change:
I enjoy reading, hiking and going to the beach. I love to travel, plan travels and visit my beautiful Puerto Rico.
