RESUME

Anchor 1

As a former teen activist, I firmly believe in the vital role of youth civic engagement in the quest for global justice. My activism spans continents, having worked and volunteered in the US, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Malaysia. I have over 15 years of experience in nonprofit management, civil society campaigns, event and project management, developing educational materials, and teaching and organizing people of diverse ages and backgrounds
