Stefania Tomaskovic

Stefania Tomaskovic, Ph.D. serves as Executive Director for the Coalition for Environment, Equity, and Resilience (CEER). Stefania believes that a strong, resilient Texas is possible: one where every person can access safe, affordable housing, where every neighborhood has healthy air, water, and soil, and where our economy is strengthened by meaningful work opportunities that support healthy livelihoods without doing harm to each other or the environment.

Since Stefania joined the coalition in 2022, CEER has worked closely with communities on several programs and initiatives, including the Harris County Climate Justice Plan, resilience hub development at the Carl Walker Multi-Service Center in Houston’s Fifth Ward, and a pilot program to enable more residents to take part in home weatherization. Recently, CEER launched a program to expand equitable access to parks in Houston, as well as an initiative to implement community-driven nature-based solutions in southeastern Texas.

Prior to joining CEER, Stefania worked with Public Citizen, a national nonprofit group dedicated to representing the people’s voice in the halls of power. Stefania has also worked as a chaplain and a geologist.
