Hello
My name is Alexandra Cenatus
As Director of Programs at Maryland Humanities, CEO of Hybrid-Translations, and Ph.D. student at UMBC, I bring expertise in designing initiatives and community engagement. I earned my M.A. in Latin American Studies and B.A. in Political Science from the University of Florida. When I'm not coordinating interactive community events or conducting research on foodways, you'll find me exploring new restaurants, watching documentaries, or planning my next travel adventure.
