Nastacia M. Pereira

I am a public health–trained strategist, researcher, and community engagement professional with experience designing and managing initiatives that center lived experience, equity, and impact. My work sits at the intersection of research, evaluation, youth and community engagement, and systems change. I bring a strong ability to translate complex data, community insights, and organizational goals into clear strategies, actionable recommendations, and sustainable programs.

Across government, nonprofit, and community-based settings, I have led cross-functional projects, supported advisory groups and stakeholders, and partnered with teams to strengthen engagement practices, improve decision-making, and advance equity-driven outcomes. I am known for my collaborative leadership style, strong communication skills, and ability to balance vision with execution while holding both people and process with care.

I am especially motivated by work that builds trust, amplifies underrepresented voices, and supports organizations in aligning values with practice. I thrive in roles that require strategic thinking, relationship-building, and adaptability, and I am energized by opportunities to contribute to meaningful social impact.
