Lina is a queer immigrant from Colombia and is dedicated to making project management accessible to teams doing meaningful work. They have over a decade of experience in community and arts organizations and hold an MA in Art Education from Concordia University and a project management certificate from McGill University. Their approach adapts management best practices for teams that want to stay values-aligned, support neurodiverse employees, and build realistic, sustainable systems. 

As the Systems Design & Integration Lead at Roots & Rivers, Lina supports and collaborates with the team on a year-long project to build and integrate systems, documentation, and workflows that align with our accessibility commitments and advance our work.

Outside of work, Lina loves a good colour gradient, new notebooks with smooth pages, drawing and colour pencils, spending time with friends and family, and tending to an ever-growing collection of houseplants.
