Hello everyone, I’m Yordanka Ramos. I’m an educator, cultural strategist, and researcher in human development, currently based in Montreal. I was born in Cuba and trained in special education — a field that taught me to see each individual not as a case to be solved, but as a constellation of potential waiting to be cultivated through empathy, structure, and imagination.
My path toward Effective Altruism emerged naturally from years of work designing cultural and educational projects that sought not only to uplift communities but to measure their real impact. I’m particularly focused on education equity, neurodiversity inclusion, mental health, and regenerative cultural development as long-term levers for societal transformation.
At present, I’m developing initiatives that connect Canada and Cuba through cultural diplomacy, humanitarian collaboration, and what I call regenerative altruism — a model that unites beauty, ethics, and evidence-based impact. My academic curiosity is rooted in the psychology of compassion, systems thinking, and the intersection between creativity and moral action.
Outside of research and project design, I find joy in composing at the piano, reading philosophy and poetry, and walking through nature — where I often rediscover the balance between intellect and intuition that fuels all meaningful work.
I’m honored to join this community of thoughtful people who not only ask what is good? but also how can good be done well? May our collective thinking become a practice of quiet, measurable hope.
