Marisa was a beautiful soul who found great joy in helping others. As an exceptional generalist, I was confident that she would become a great operational leader once she was able to find inner peace.
Marisa began her journey with Rethink Charity as a volunteer and quickly became a fundamental part of the team. The two years she spent working on this project before starting grad school were transformational for RC. Marisa made me a better leader, and I am eternally grateful for the friendship we built.
The lockdowns were especially tough on Marisa, and I had hoped that moving to DC would offer her the fresh start she needed. I always looked forward to our dinner catch-ups during my visits, and it deeply saddens me to know we will never get the chance to do that again.
My heart goes out to Marisa’s family, friends, and everyone in our community mourning this loss. She will always be remembered.
do you know if Marisa exclusively used they/them pronouns, or she/they, or what? I remember hearing something about this but I’m not certain and can’t find any online profiles anymore :(
This is helpful! We hadn’t spoken about pronoun preferences for a while, and the last time we did, Marisa used she/they. With some uncertainty, I wanted to ensure I was being respectful.

Marisa told me last fall that she’d settled on she/her, so that’s what I’ve been using.
