Kiara Alventosa

Kiera Alventosa is passionate about environmental justice, and the fundamental right of every
person to live, work, and play in healthy environments. She believes in recognizing and uplifting
the leadership of community members in decision making spaces. She came to the work from her
family’s history with environmental injustice and her parent’s immigration from Spain to the
United States.
She graduated from the University of Oxford with a Master’s of Science in Environmental
Governance, and from the University of Warwick with a Master’s of Arts in Writing, where she
specialized in environmental justice storytelling. She attended Amherst College to study English
and environmental studies and cares deeply about who is centered in conversations about
environmental change.
Prior to joining the team at GreenRoots, Kiera was an organizer for Clean Water Action, where
she worked in Chelsea and other communities on the environmental health issue of lead in
drinking water. In her free time, she loves to read, write, and spend time under trees.
