Mairi Creedon
Associate Research Director
I’m a data-driven storyteller, seed keeper, writer, and researcher who has been working with community-based organizations since 2019. My work centers participatory approaches to systems change by synthesizing culturally relevant techniques for qualitative and quantitative data collection, analysis, and communication. I’ve studied economics and sustainability, and I’m currently a PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management's Division of Society and Environment, and is pursuing a designated emphasis in folklore. I’m particularly passionate about supporting justice-based projects related to equitable financing, regenerative food systems, collaborative resource and land management, education, and community-based economic development.
