As a strong proponent of locally based and community led solutions, Cynthia supports programs at the intersection of environmental justice and community development. She centers equity, inclusion and diversity in all her work- leading outreach efforts, building partnership with local stakeholders, developing systems and streamlining processes, and fostering transformational change within organizational structures.

She currently works as the Clean Mobility Coordinator at GRID Alternatives, Bay Area with the mission to provide more equitable access to low-carbon and low-cost transportation options. A resident of South San Francisco, she lives with her partner and is a proud ‘tia’ (aunt) of four niblings.
