Hello, Friends.I wanted to share some news with you all. This Friday is my final day at New York City Center and my last day as one of your Tessitura Community co-chairs. I have recently accepted the Senior Manager of Individual Giving role at the Apollo in New York City.Tessitura has been a prominent fixture in my professional life for three years. I am a proud alum of the Career Accelerator Program (formerly the Early Career Development program). I served two full years as a Community DEAI Advisory Committee member, and last but not least, I have pridefully served this community as a co-chair since 2021. I even presented for the first time at TLCC Orlando last year. I am grateful for all the connections I made, the work I could contribute to, and the space I could create. Thank you!As I venture into the uncharted territories, I will carry the spirit of this community with me. Tessitura or not, may we all find spaces of belonging. Creating this culture is a shared responsibility. By fostering a sense of belonging, we can build a stronger, more cohesive community that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and success.If you'd like to stay in touch with me, here's how.
