Yessica began working with Global Brigades in January 2018 contractually as a brigade translator, and eventually coordinator. Before joining the team full-time, Yessica worked as a logistics assistant for Empresas Rurales Productivas de Honduras, a micro-credit institution for under resourced communities in Intibuca, Honduras. In her new role she is now excited to connect passionate volunteers to local communities, and empowering both through the process of sustainable development.
Yessica holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Universidad Católica de Honduras as well as a masters in project management from Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana – Both in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. When she’s not empowering our passionate leaders, she enjoys time with family and friends, reading, watching movies, and making small road trips along the country.
