Hello!

I'm Claudia Alexandra Paras, thank you for taking interest in my website.

I focus on supporting non-profit organizations, unions and government departments to create strategic plans, fundraise and develop leadership. I have over 20 years of experience in immigrant adult education, grass-roots community organizing, campaign and coalition organizing, fundraising, managing government contracts and strategic planning. You can find more detailed information about my previous work and experience on my LinkedIn page - please connect with me!

I started my consultant business three years ago and I love what I do everyday. It gives me the chance to work with a lot of people of color leaders and their staff who are value centered, super-skilled and care deeply for working people and their families.

I’m a mixed-race Filipina American immigrant with citizenship privilege. I moved to the U.S. in 1998 with scholarships to attend the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies at University of Redlands in Southern California. After graduating, I moved to Seattle (on a whim to be near water again) and started planting my PNW roots through cultivating deep friendships, learning how to organize in our communities and centering social justice in my work.
