Lina brings several years of experience in program coordination and education to her role as Assistant Researcher. 

Lina is driven by an appreciation for the ways in which humans interact with material culture and storytelling. She is passionate about working with museums from an inclusive perspective, acknowledging the ways in which museums emerged in a world impacted by colonialist and imperialist legacies. This passion comes from her academic background where she engaged with various academic disciplines, including anthropology, history, and theological studies. As a research and communications coordinator at Kera Collective, Lina likes being involved in client conversations, facilitating communication, and assisting with research. 

Outside of work, as a creatively-inclined individual, she has facilitated artistic workshops for women, with a focus on folk art and preservation. In her spare time, she loves reading, perusing coffee shops, and silversmithing. 

Lina’s favorite museum currently is the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive because of its unique exhibitions.
