Those who know me well are still surprised I’ve been here
for 10 years. As an organization with an almost 50 year history, founded by a child psychologist, you can imagine some of the years have been quite colorful. Yet the decade I’ve invested has been one of careful inclusivity and
a widening the of impact as the family has seen great change. The years have been beyond interesting
and quite complex.
For seven years, I was the sole creative on an extraordinary 25-person fundraising team. For the past three years,
I’ve worked in marketing—supporting a national parenting program, a major product launch, and now providing enterprise-level project management with a marketing focus.
-
Contributing to approximately $50M in revenue.
-
And trained 1,100 schools while providing training to 7,000 teachers.
-
in product sales after an extensive research project, redesign and team implementation.
