As Social Impact Investment Director Nyra’s goal is to engage with innovative initiatives, investments and partnerships that allow more families to gain wealth and enjoy their American Dream. In addition to leading and implementing initiatives to provide access to employment for justice impacted individuals, Nyra is amplifying community experts and founders focused on people-centered technology solutions for those impacted by the justice system. She believes that tech can create opportunities and help to reduce inequities in the criminal and civil justice system, but only if it is designed by, with and for people with direct experience in the system or those who have dedicated their lives to criminal and civil justice change. She is also co-creating a coalition to bring funding to underrepresented founders by convening entrepreneurs and investors within the justice tech sector. 

Nyra launched her career in the nonprofit space and currently serves on several boards and task forces that include community members, elected officials, and law enforcement to drive systemic change. Nyra is committed to transformation that will bring equality to America by increasing access to opportunity and establishing social equity.
