Kiera 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.
