Casira joined the ACLU of Delaware in 2022. Growing up in New Castle County, they went on to get their Bachelor’s degree in Advertising & Public Relations from RIT, and their Master's in Social Justice & Community Action from the University of Edinburgh.
After some years spent working abroad in Italy and England, they returned to Delaware and immediately became highly involved in the nonprofit sector. Formerly the Communications & Development Officer at Delaware Humanities, their work has included platforming East Coast activists from the surrounding cities and advocating for LGBTQ+ programming in the humanities.
Casira’s work is motivated by their passions for racial justice and queer community-building. They have led community conversations on racial equity in Delaware as a trained facilitator for the YWCA’s Racial & Social Justice program and worked on the planning committee of the National Humanities Conference to advocate for more inclusive practices that welcome marginalized speakers and attendees. Casira serves as the Board President of the Bisexual Resource Center and is on the Board of Directors of OutCare Health, both positions that prioritize LGBTQ+ healthcare, education, and advocacy.
Outside of work, they can usually be found crocheting or practicing their foreign language skills.
