Her leadership extends to representing the CCRB at the local, state, and national levels. Her strategic work includes shaping legislative priorities, implementing robust policies, and driving major charter revisions and police reforms. A graduate of Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Ethnic Studies, Yojaira's expertise in partnerships and public policy is instrumental in enhancing the CCRB's reach and impact, ensuring the agency remains at the forefront of promoting effective civilian oversight.
