As a journalist, editor, nonprofit leader, and teacher, I’ve seen how inequality makes us strangers to each other and holds back talent our world can’t afford to waste. The future of the planet depends on whether we can bridge those communication gaps and remove obstacles from the paths of rising leaders.

That’s why I’m…
- building a media organization, El Colectivo 506, focused on community voices and solutions journalism from underreported areas of Costa Rica;
- designing mentorship structures such as the Costa Rica Corps to share expertise among community organizations; and
- providing services for changemakers in Costa Rica and beyond as a grantwriter, fundraising coach, and communications strategist, so they can expand their impact.
Want to join these movements to strengthen communities by sharing expertise and stories? Do you need some help telling your story or expanding your impact as an entrepreneur or nonprofit leader? I’d love to hear from you. Please check out the site, contact me at kstan.cr@gmail.com, or connect through the social media links to the right.
Together, we can write a better world.
