Biography

Genesis Rivera has spent her professional career working towards social change and fighting for equity within underrepresented communities. Genesis has a background in Political Science and Sociology which, combined with her CDP certification, allow her to bring unique insights into her specialty areas including supporting leadership teams on their journeys to navigate, promote, and build inclusive environments.
