Liz Potamites

Liz brings numbers and creativity to her role as OLAAI's volunteer accountant and operations lead. Armed with a PhD in Economics, she has spent over 15 years analyzing data to evaluate and strengthen public assistance programs. She recently earned a certificate in Community Health Work from Malcolm X College to broaden her perspective on those served by the programs she has studied. Beyond data analysis, Liz is passionate about collage and photography. Her current artivism practice is collaging handwritten get-out-the-vote letters and postcards to send to potential voters in crucial elections. Since 2020, she has also supported democracy by serving as an election judge and coordinator. She's excited to be a part of building up the next generation of artivists who will transform their communities through political engagement and creative expression.
