Gina Cruz Taveras

As a Facilitator and a Coach, Gina’s work has always centered on creating space for people to cultivate the skills to advocate for themselves. Gina is a native of Lawrence, MA, and a proud first-generation Dominican-American, so her work is motivated by her lived experience. Everything she does is focused on supporting and amplifying marginalized voices in higher education, non-profit and corporate spaces. That’s what she’s good at and what she cares about.

Gina is passionate about helping teams work better together by fostering understanding, collaboration, and shared purpose. She has led initiatives across sectors to drive meaningful change, from shaping dignified marketing policies for the DREAM Project in the Dominican Republic to facilitating leadership development as a founding member at GenUnity. As a consultant, she has partnered with organizations like Collective Next, RogersLeads, and Reframe Evaluation to transform workplace culture, guiding teams through complex conversations on the issues that are most pressing to them. Across all her work, Gina is committed to creating environments where people can connect, communicate, and move forward together.
