Lucia Duran-Hernandez, MA, is an anthropologist, grants manager, and native of Sevilla, Spain. With four years of international nonprofit experience in project design and implementation, she’s raised $1,000,000 to support immigrants, homeless individuals, and families across Spain, the Saharawi Republic, Mexico, and the U.S. Lucia loves using her analytical and planning skills to create opportunities for those who need them most.
