Dear Wikimedia & Education community,
I’m so excited to welcome Melissa Guadalupe Huertas as the newest
member
of
the Education Team in the role of Education Program Officer. Melissa
will
be supporting the team by developing resources and strategies that help integrate the Wikimedia projects into classroom learning, specifically focused on underrepresented communities.
Melissa in her own words:
Hola! I’m so excited to be joining you all in the Wikimedia
Foundation! I
feel really honored to be part of an organization that is transforming
the
world through its commitment to equitable access and production of knowledge. I see many of my professional and personal values reflected
in
the Wikimedia movement, particularly the importance of lifting up the voices of underrepresented communities to achieve true education
equity.
I’m really looking forward to working as the new Program Officer in the Education Team!
I recently returned home to Peru after spending a year working towards
my
MA at University College London where I explored the intersection of
the
fields of education, gender equality, and international development. My previous work experiences have involved managing diverse education and development programs in Ecuador, Panama and Peru, both in urban and
rural
communities. These experiences taught me a lot about the power of collaboration and finding innovative ways to deliver quality education
that
positively impacts the future of communities worldwide. This is
basically
what motivated me to join this movement!
When I’m not working you can find me hiding behind a book (and every
now
and then re-reading Harry Potter or The Sandman series) or doodling in
my
sketchbook outdoors. I’m a big big fan of spontaneous day trips and exploring the world, so if you have any tips on
cities/islands/mountains
I
should check out, do let me know. I look forward to connecting with you
to
learn and work together!
Please join me in welcoming Melissa to the foundation!
All the best,
Nichole
