After launching a new website for National Medical Fellowships, I began a story series that highlights members of the community who engage in the mission in a variety of ways.
Bring Philanthropy to Life
Stories that Make an Impact
I created the magazine to show how donors and volunteers are making a difference in the lives of students. I write and edit the magazine for Rhode Island School of Design’s Division of Institutional Engagement, and also oversee its design, production and distribution. Showcasing philanthropy is excellent stewardship for donors and gift officers use the stories to inspire their prospects.
Capture Donor Attention
RISD Together Challenge
Pandemics Don’t Cancel Creativity
This was the first email appeal in a challenge campaign, an effort driven by the Board of Trustees in the days after the COVID-19 pandemic forced Rhode Island School of Design to send students home and move to remote learning. This was an especially daunting transformation for an art and design school that prides itself on hands-on making. The appeal struck an optimistic and determined tone, inspired by an extraordinary student.
Publications for Academia
Brown University
While working at Brown University, I created a range of materials detailing the work of the Pembroke Center and the John Carter Brown Library. These examples of my work demonstrate my ability to collaborate with faculty and communicate about scholarly content.
