Julie Niemczura de Carvalho
Assistant Director, International Development Programs
Julie Niemczura de Carvalho hails from the rugged coast of Maine. For over ten years, she has divided her time between Brazil and the US. It was in rural Brazil that she first became interested in innovative approaches to social change and community development, which drove her to pursue a joint degree in political economy and international development at Tulane University. Following graduation, she taught English in South America, and soon after helped to found the Manuel Zapata Olivella Center for Education and Human Development serving vulnerable populations in Washington, DC. From 2006-2007, she worked at Creative Associates International, where she strategically pursued funding from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and other donors. She joined ConStrat in 2007 as Research Specialist for Western Hemisphere Affairs, using her Portuguese and Spanish language skills to analyze the Latin American media. In 2009, she contributed to the start-up of a social media project, providing technology training and other guidance to new analysts. In addition to leading ConStrat’s international development efforts, she is currently pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Virginia with a focus on global health policy.
