photo of Lyan Joy PernalaI have a passion for social justice and helping socially impactful organizations to build partnerships, communicate with stakeholders, streamline operations, scale programs, and acquire resources to increase equity and access for underserved and underrepresented people. I champion equity and diversity.
Trained in public affairs with a heart for advocacy, I have more than 15 years of experience negotiating complex contracts between nonprofits and government agencies, and influencing public policies. I excel in relationship-building, leading and connecting project teams across different departments to accomplish joint projects, and have a knack for navigating undefined concepts and turning them into workable scopes.
My Clifton StrengthsFinder: Strategic, Relator, Achiever, Includer, Arranger.
On a personal note, I love coffee and trying new food.
