Experienced external relations manager with a focus on donor engagement.
I am a dedicated External Relations Manager with a strong background in donor engagement and strategic communication. At the Providence Children’s Museum, I successfully collaborated with leadership to enhance individual giving by 10% and increased community engagement through impactful events. My experience in managing public relations strategies and producing high-visibility fundraising events has equipped me with the skills to effectively communicate and connect with diverse audiences.
With an MFA in Literary Arts from Brown University and a BA in English & Creative Writing from Emory University, I bring a unique blend of creativity and analytical thinking to my work. My previous roles, including Graduate Teaching Fellow and Editorial Publishing Assistant, have honed my ability to synthesize complex information and present it clearly. I am passionate about fostering inclusive environments and empowering others through education and creative expression.
