Cyatharine Alias hails from a northwest suburb of Chicago. After graduating from Harvard College with a degree in Sociology and a teaching certificate for middle school science, she taught a diverse population of students in Silicon Valley for two years. During this time she wanted to re-envision how science education prepared young people to be active civic agents on environmental and environmental justice issues in their neighborhoods. She now attends the Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning program at Tufts University and is interested in learning how grassroots environmental organizations use quantitative data in addition to the rich narrative experiences of their members to make systemic change.
