Get to know Miranda.

Miranda is a professional advocate and educator passionate about teaching relationship-building skills, empowering individuals to reach their goals, and reallocating resources into the LA community. Miranda is proud to be a born and raised Los Angelino. She graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a degree in Political Science and Legal studies and a concentration in grassroots organization. Miranda used this degree to develop a background in legal advocacy and community restoration by working at the Los Angeles Public Defender’s Office and various family law firms throughout Los Angeles County.

Miranda currently works as a Career Program Manager with the Posse Foundation, where she counsels 350+ scholars across nine top 100 universities in their academic and professional success. In this role, she ensures that her Los Angeles-based scholars from diverse cultural backgrounds have the specialized resources and support necessary to achieve a 90% program and university graduation rate. Her time in this role exemplifies her drive to uplift first-generation, multi-cultural, gender-expansive youth in her community.

Miranda has worked with The Collective Identity since January 2021. She initially onboarded as a volunteer and quickly co-founded the organization’s Youth Advisory Board. Here, she advised on program activities and topics to enrich participants with new experiences around Los Angeles County. From this position, she transitioned into the organization’s first Case Manager for their inaugural cohort, working closely with the mentees and mentors to ensure successful relationship building. After an academic year in this position, Miranda was elected to serve on The Collective Identity’s Executive Board, where she proudly continues to advocate for gender-expansive Black youth. Miranda is indescribably honored to be a part of this organization, and experiencing the program from multiple positions has given her a unique perspective that further adds to the organization’s endless success.
