Aya is passionate about making connections — between people, communities, cultures and ideas – for positive change. She's thrilled to be TGP's microphone, sharing the team's observations, reflections and insights with the rest of the world to achieve a more equitable, collaborative and effective sector.

Prior to joining TGP, Aya was a strategist in the Boston advertising scene where she found joy in working with mission-driven clients. Today she continues to volunteer her time to non-profits in the public health and environmental sectors in need of marketing and communications support. 

Aya earned her bachelor's degree in Economics with a concentration in Marketing at Boston College. Outside of work you can find her on the trails, enjoying an IPA at one of Washington's breweries or camping under the stars.
