Maria José Orellana

I've supported community operations at Associa Colorado, managing high-volume homeowner communications, vendor coordination, board materials, reports, and compliance-focused resident communications across multiple communities.

At UC San Diego's US-Mexico Center, I built research databases, validated and translated materials, and organized data supporting academic publications.

Previously, at CONEVAL, I led development of an indicator measuring institutional data use in decision-making and coordinated with international organizations on policy evaluation.

With a master's degree in Political Economy and a background in Political Science, I bring research, data management, operations coordination, and clear stakeholder communication to strategy and impact-focused work.
