Cecilia C.

Health & Wellness Director

Cecilia, a native of Buenos Aires with roots in the picturesque landscapes of Bariloche, Argentina, embodies a lifelong commitment to empowerment and community betterment. Her academic journey began with a fervent pursuit of biology in her homeland, where she cultivated a deep understanding of the natural world.

Driven by her passion for equitable access to technology, Cecilia ventured to Venezuela, pioneering an organization dedicated to liberating technological resources. Her journey later led her to the United States, where she immersed herself in a transformative two-year period in Chicago. Here, she honed her linguistic proficiency in English while concurrently leveraging her expertise to educate and empower underserved communities in computer literacy and repair through a non-profit initiative.

Now a devoted mother and esteemed community organizer, Cecilia’s focus has shifted to enhancing the educational landscape in Minneapolis. Her unwavering dedication to advocating for improved public schools mirrors her aspiration to pave the way for her children and the broader community to thrive amidst equitable opportunities.
