Ana Lucia, or Lucy, Verduzco is the Operations Manager at the Constitutional Accountability Center.

She was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and grew up in Tucson, Arizona, where she attended the University of Arizona and received bachelor’s degrees in political science, Global Studies, and French and graduated Suma Cum Laude. While attending the University of Arizona, Ana Lucia developed her passion for human rights and social justice with an international relations lens; she spent a year studying at Sciences Po in Paris and interned with various local human rights organizations in Tucson including Colibrí Center for Human Rights and the International Rescue Committee.

Being from Mexico and growing up in a border town, Lucy feels a strong connection to migrant rights and, more broadly, the protection and promotion of human rights in the United States and globally. She has worked with the international NGO the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), advocating for regional policies that promote and protect human rights, working with local partners to collaborate on advocacy efforts and engaging with policymakers and international institutions. Most recently, she took on a role working with the American Bar Association’s Center for Human Rights, focusing on the Northern Central American Anti-Corruption Program (NCAAC), working with legal advisors to support the collaborative monitoring, investigation and development of criminal cases to combat corrupt networks in Northern Central America that threaten human rights defenders in the region and contribute to the violation of human rights.
