El’s role: I work with the VP of Marketing and Communications to share the Foundation’s story across various mediums. My day-to-day tasks include creating graphics and layouts for digital and print materials; writing blogs, social media posts, and emails; managing the website; and occasionally capturing photos and videos.
What brought El to the Foundation: I was initially drawn to the Foundation’s commitment to identifying and funding the areas of greatest need in our community. The friendly and dedicated people I now call coworkers sealed the deal.
What El did before: After studying art in college, I worked in the nonprofit sector for the past six years, most recently at an affordable housing nonprofit in Minnesota. While working as the Events Coordinator there, I took on extra creative projects via freelance graphic design and videography. I’m grateful to be in a role where my background in art can finally be central to what I do every day.
El’s favorite thing to do in Central Texas: When I’m not crocheting with my spouse and cat, I can often be found checking out a new restaurant, planning my next home project, or spending a warm evening on a patio with friends.
