Tessa Carreiro

Account Executive

With a background in environmental science, Tessa is passionate about driving social change. She is committed to advancing climate justice and has spent years crafting her skills at identifying gaps in the national conversation around climate action. Tessa believes in highlighting marginalized voices and is dedicated to using this lens in her work. At Spitfire, Tessa has worked on projects that have spanned across issue areas. Some projects include advocating for park equity, protecting voting rights, ensuring digital privacy for those targeted by harmful technologies and aiding in the narrative shift for innovative climate strategies. She conducts research, supports the development of graphics and visuals, and tracks media trends. Tessa approaches her work with imagination and curiosity to find the right solutions. Before joining Spitfire, Tessa canvassed for campaigns on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union and the International Rescue Committee working to protect voting rights and reproductive freedom and provide aid to refugees. This work instilled in her a belief that community building and thoughtful information sharing are the way to make change. Tessa is based in San Diego, California, though she was born and raised in Massachusetts — and will always be a New England girl at heart.
