Alli Dzul

Program Administrator/Check-Out Specialist

She studied the Maya language from the Yucatan peninsula. The strangest food she’s eaten is tarantula over rice. She’s worked with children in a school setting for over 10 years. She keeps coming back to working in education because it feels so rewarding to see children grow and become their own person. She finds Grattan and GASP to be a place where kids can feel safe to be their authentic self and is happy to be part of this family.
