STAFF

My name is Sarah Cunningham and I have had the extraordinary opportunity of working with MayaWorks as the Product Manager for over three years. I work overseeing our Distribution Center operations as well as working directly with our amazing volunteers, the dedicated staff, and our talented artisan partners; all of whom have taught me so much both professionally as well as in my personal life. I graduated with a degree in Spanish and Latin American Studies and lived in Guatemala for one year prior to my work with MayaWorks. |
 |
My name is Naomi Czerwinskyj. As the Customer Service Associate, I work directly with volunteers, marketing, and the distribution of our beautiful products. My interests are in Latin American Studies, Spanish, and women's issues so I am drawn to the hands-on approach MayaWorks employs in making the lives of Mayan artisans economically sustainable.

My name is Kathleen Morkert and I have been fortunate to be the Executive Director of MayaWorks since 2000. Watching the MayaWorks weaving become beautiful, strong and dynamic over the past years has been a joy. Working with our partners in Guatemala has enriched my life beyond words. Before coming to MayaWorks I spent over 25 years in the non-profit world, mostly in health care administration. Bringing those experiences and skills to MayaWorks has been the highlight of my career.

My name is Mirian Etelvina Otzín. I have worked at MayaWorks for 10 years. Currently I am the Coordinator here in Guatemala. MayaWorks is part of my life and I enjoy working in this organization. During this time I have had challenges but as a person and as a woman they have made me stronger and I am happy to contribute in one way or the other to help women and men to find the opportunity to better their lives.
