Teva Needleman is an honors graduate of Pacific University with a degree in Sustainable Design and Public Health. Her passion comes from advocating with marginalized and targeted populations, by helping to not only bring community voice to the table but build a new table altogether that the community has ownership of. As she enters any space her goal is to activate her privilege by creating a megaphone to amplify the voices of others. 

Teva’s position as Program Manager for EcoDistricts provides her the opportunity to manger the network of over 700 Accredited Professionals globally, and create new programming that educates and amplifies their work. In her free time, Teva loves to explore new places with friends, read as much as possible, cook food for her housemates and more than anything else, doodle the world around her.
