About Maz Ali

MAZ ALI, Communications Team

ext. 101, mali@faireconomy.org, Twitter: @MazWasHere

Maz serves a diverse role for UFE. Though varied, he finds that his position suits his personality well. He aspires to obtain a lifetime of broad experiential education that far transcends that of the classroom.

Maz is on UFE's Communications Team with a primary role in media relations. He is a frequent writer and blogger for UFE, and was a co-author of UFE's 2011 State of the Dream report.

Prior to his arrival in Boston in 2007, Maz was a Senior Field Guide and Trainer for a therapeutic wilderness program in the deep piney woods of East Texas, and clerked for the tax and real estate teams for one of the largest full-service law firms in Dallas. What he's learned from his hodge-podge of past experiences is that he wants to serve a greater good, opting for collectivism, rather than individualism, as with the Zapatista aphorism, "Everything for everyone, nothing for ourselves."

Maz graduated from Texas Tech University with a B.A. in Psychology. He is first generation American as proud second child to his accomplished parents, Maria Ali of the Philippines and Syed Ali of Pakistan. If he's not in UFE's Communications Lab, he's probably strumming a guitar somewhere.
