Community Engagement and Education Project Manager
Growing up in the border towns of ambos Nogales, Joselyn has always had a strong sense of community and a passion for helping others. She moved to Tucson in 2020 to pursue a career in language interpretation with the goal of minimizing the impact language barriers have on Spanish speaking communities across Southern Arizona. After working in the court system and seeing a lack of social justice in our bureaucracies, Joselyn saw her efforts making more of an impact in grassroots organizing and nonprofit work. Most recently, she worked as Volunteer & Outreach Coordinator at BICAS, gaining experience in community outreach and program coordination. Joselyn’s work reflects an understanding that sustainability is synonymous with education, liberation, and community. Her commitment to sustainability shows through her car free lifestyle, using various modes of transportation such as biking, walking, and taking public transit to get around. For fun, you’ll find Joselyn leading and organizing bike rides such as the Tuesday Night Bike Ride, upcycling thrifted clothes, or just hanging out with friends.
