A proud native New Mexican, Stacy Tompkins makes her difference in the world by harnessing a boundless sense of curiosity about why and how things work. Pairing knowledge earned during scholarships to study language, culture, photography, and perform music abroad and at home, with more traditional studies in biology, art history, political science, economics, and literature analysis at Wellesley College, Stacy is a passionate, hands-on problem-solver looking for data-backed, community-driven solutions.  In her quest for answers, she has volunteered and worked in areas from youth legal and music education, event-coordination, development, grant-writing, voter registration, and legal research.
