Ana Cardenas
Ana ("Anny") Cardenas joins the Advisory Board as Operations Manager at IRIS (Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services) and board member of Community Soup Kitchen in New Haven. Originally from Venezuela, Anny spent twenty years as a teacher before bringing her organizational psychology expertise to the work of food access and immigrant services in Connecticut. A daily yet self-proclaimed “imperfect” meditator, she found her way to CMP through a deep alignment with its mission of bringing practice into the communities that need it most.
