Alice Tavares grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She received a bachelor’s degree in Geophysics from Universidade Federal Fluminense and a Master’s degree in International Development from IE School of Global and Public Affairs. Alice currently works at the Office of Strategic Planning at the Inter-American Development Bank, monitoring the Bank's corporate results, and she previously worked at UNICEF. Alice has volunteered in some capacity practically all her life, and when she moved to DC, she began searching for organizations that needed volunteers. She was drawn to Negotiation Works because of its focus on training individuals in marginalized communities with such a universal, important, and needed skill. Alice enjoys being part of Negotiation Works’ data analysis team and helping the organization draw insights from the participants’ survey responses, create better processes, increase communication, and reflect upon what works and what can be improved.
