Martial Arts Instructor Joins PTP as Technology Knowledge Director
PTP is excited to announce the addition of Alice Aguilar to PTP's staff team. Alice joins PTP as our Technology Knowledge Director, where she'll be responsible for coordinating technical support for participants in our VOTER Project. As part of her work, she will also be leading the Power on Network - PTP's community of practice on technology and organizing.
For over 10 years, Alice has been committed to providing capacity-building support to advocacy and community organizing groups that focused on issues such as environmental justice, indigenous subsistence and sovereignty rights, at-risk youths, immigrant rights, and low-income communities access to health care.
Her earlier days as a database specialist and trainer started with her work with the Rockefeller Technology Project and the introduction of ebaseTM version 1.0. Her work and interests then quickly transitioned to focusing on providing communication technology assistance and training with environmental justice groups in the Southwest through the Environmental Support Center.
Alice is currently living in Anchorage, AK, and will be moving back to Brooklyn, NY later this summer. Check out the PTP blog for updates on Alice's whereabouts and the occasional blog from the road. Read more about Alice on our website. PS - Alice really is a former martial arts instructor. Though her bio doesn't list it, she used to teach Filipino Arnis.
