Cecilia Leal
I am inspired to affect positive growth in local communities by finding connections between collective, individual, and economic well-being and the social and physical structures that surround us and make up our cities. I'm currently seeking opportunities in community and economic development, and am hoping to learn comprehensive skills that will enhance my capacity as a planning professional.
