In their career, Javier has worked across non-profit, corporate, tech, and philanthropic industries to develop strategic communication campaigns on a variety of social issue areas.

In their spare time you can find them performing in their alter ego as a drag king, taking their doodle to the beach, and making TERFS cry.
