Xiomara joined Inclusion Outdoors as a natural continuation of wanting to work in spaces that cultivate authentic engagement with various communities and reinforce that the healing powers of the outdoors is for everyone. She lives on the unceded ancestral lands of the Lisjan and Muwekma Ohlone tribes, in what has been colonized as Berkeley, CA. Growing up in this fantastic community gave her access to nature in a variety of incredible ways and reflected back to her that anyone and everyone should have access to these opportunities in whatever way that resonates with them. Xiomara has an undergraduate degree in Anthropology and continued her studies to attain a Masters in SocioCultural Anthropology with a concentration in social justice and education. Xiomara has continued her studies and education through trainings, conferences, and workshops that increase her awareness and understanding of what equity in the outdoors can truly become. She has worked in a variety of educational institutions and non profit organizations, with a throughline of working with families, students, and community while putting equity and inclusion at the center.
