Resource mobilization, disability services, and hidden history.

The philanthropists and organizations Juanita serves benefit from her ability to see the big picture as well as manage details.

What’s your best travel advice?

I am a huge fan of hidden history, food, and public art walking tours. They provide opportunities to learn, taste, and see cities from a different perspective. Find a local tour guide – you won’t regret it!

Why did you decide to work at Geneva Global?

Geneva Global’s team is a uniquely gifted group of individuals. They are wholehearted, curious, smart, and humble. The opportunity to achieve positive social change by supporting philanthropists is a dream come true. The organization’s Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) work sealed the deal.

What brings you joy?

Exploring new places, especially when sun and water are involved. Quiet, unscheduled mornings. A hot mug of homemade chai. Making lists. Cooking nourishing food for loved ones. Swimming. Summer sunsets. Quality time with family and friends.

What’s an interesting fact that others would not know about you?

Unbeknownst to me, I had a close encounter with a lion while on a safari in Kenya. It was terrifying to see parallel tracks alongside the path I took in the middle of the night with no flashlight.
