Karla Michelle Capacetti-Quintana

Holistic Educator

Karla joined the Plenitud PR team with a lot of excitement and desire to serve. Karla currently lives in Las Marías, Barrio Buena Vista, and it is a dream come true to be able to live in Boriké. Her Puerto Rican parents left the island when they were young, and Karla grew up in various places, mostly in North Carolina, where she studied environmental studies at UNC-Chapel Hill. There she had her first experience in an organic garden! Her master’s degree in Sustainable Food Systems from Green Mountain College and  more than 10 years of experience in community food systems have prepared her for this new stage as a Holistic Educator at Plenitud PR in the Children and Youth program. If Karla had eight hands, she would be playing various instruments, planting, cooking, preparing herbal medicine, crocheting, and painting all at the same time!
