Jimmy joined the Volunteer Engagement team in January 2024. He graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelors in History and Minor in Spanish. He received his ESL certification through Oxford Seminars. During a summer in college, he worked as a volunteer teacher at an elementary school in Arequipa, Peru.
Prior to Global Brigades, Jimmy worked as a Volunteer Coordinator for the All Stars Project in Chicago, IL and as a Field & Volunteer Coordinator for Sky Island Alliance in southern Arizona and northern Mexico. He’s also worked in logistics, sales, and marketing. Jimmy is excited to be able to continue his mission driven career with an amazing, noble organization like Global Brigades; one that aligns with his passion for working in developing communities and being able to introduce our programs and experiences to students.
In his free time, Jimmy loves to spend time with his wife and their dog Emma, read, hike, watch documentaries, and listen to history podcasts.
