Gia Alvares | Partnerships Associate

Gia is a writer with a background in Economics and Sociology, drawn to work that centres people, stories, and lived experiences. She enjoys facilitating workshops, conversations and creating spaces where people can learn from one another. She loves exploring different types of food and culture through her family and friends which has shaped her appreciation for food as memory and connection, and aims to contribute to work that celebrates local knowledge, community voices, and thoughtful engagement with what we eat. Outside of work, Gia is an experienced violinist who regularly performs at shows and gigs. When she’s not playing music, she’s usually buried in a book, listening to podcasts, or deep diving into YouTube analyses on history, pop culture, food, and films.
