Tell us about what you do for a living and how you got into it

Ivette Galarza: Ivette was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY to Puerto Rican parents.  Her mom and dad were both from Moca, PR.  At a young age Ivette watched her mother with a 7th grade educational level advocate on behalf of a community of tenants that were at the verge of being evicted.  Ivette firmly believes that watching her mother walk through this multi-year journey is what birthed the passion within her to dedicate 27 years of her life to working on behalf of vulnerable children, families and communities.
