My name is Kendra Lizardo (she/hers/ella).

I began my career as a social worker in New York City’s criminal justice system—walking alongside high-risk youth, survivors, and other system-impacted groups as an advocate and mental health counselor. My approach is rooted in empathy, empowerment & resiliency.

As an independent contractor, I found my calling in amplifying underrepresented voices— not just through direct service, but through digital storytelling, creative collaboration, and operational support.

I’ve since worked with nonprofits, entrepreneurs, and companies rooted in equity to help them execute their vision and deepen their impact.

This work is my offering: a blend of spirit, strategy and emotional intelligence. Learn about my services and prior projects here or explore the site for networking and connection.
