Hi everyone! My name is Ilisa, I am a Junior studying Sociology and Business at Tufts, and for which this year, I will be studying abroad in London at LSE! A little bit about me: I’m a native to the Greater Boston Area (in particular, Somerville), I have a passion for civics education and learning about intersectionality/narrative-telling, and one of the most important things I value in people and the work I hope to do is Empathy/Social Awareness. I think community empowerment and collective action are very important, and in light of this internship, I am excited to uplift the very local actors that shape my communities of Cambridge and our Greater Boston Area.
