Born in Rio de Janeiro and now based in Toronto, Diego holds an Honours BA in Political Science and Human Geography from the University of Toronto. His studies in the relationship between people, place, and governance sparked an interest in community engagement and outreach. That background led him to CJPAC, where he is eager to support Canadians in becoming more active in political life. A communicator and lifelong learner, Diego values building connections across diverse communities. In his spare time, he enjoys learning new languages and exploring Toronto’s neighbourhoods.
