Urban Poverty Alleviation

Lucia joined Voyage in 2019 and leads the Urban Poverty Alleviation mission and our previous Disability Inclusion portfolio, providing end-to-end strategic philanthropy advisory for sector-leading organizations.

Additionally, she serves as a consultant for several Mainland China foundations and NGOs, driving strategic development and capacity building within the Adult Intellectual Disability field.

Prior to Voyage, Lucia served as a Creative and Marketing Manager in Taiwan and Mainland China. This experience equipped her to translate complex social and policy messaging into compelling narratives that ensure public scale and penetration. Her ability to deliver feasible, operationally sound solutions is grounded in her extensive field experience; she worked as a frontline worker at the YouthArch Foundation, led a rural revitalization pilot in Chongqing, and designed and curated numerous cross-border exchange and "smart volunteering" programs.
