This week, we officially welcomed two new staff members to the Sister Schools team. If you were at our Annual Auction last month, you may have had the chance to meet both Jaime, our new Executive Director, and Caitlin, our Development Manager.Jaime has more than ten years of experience in education and holds a masters in International Education from Harvard University. A certified teacher, she began her career in the classroom, teaching briefly in the US before working in elementary and middle schools in Egypt and China. She then transitioned to training teachers, and worked in Djibouti to instructing local educators on best practices. After completing her Master's, she went on to serve as the Deputy Director of WorldTeach, where she managed over 350 teachers and staff in 12 countries, including Namibia South Africa and Morocco. She is excited to join the team at Sister Schools and use her experience in education nonprofits to serve the students of Uganda and the greater Seattle area.Caitlin graduated from Seattle Pacific University, and has spent over a decade building her career around nonprofits serving kids in need. For her, development work is more than a job – it is also her passion. Throughout her career, she has developed many skills that will help launch Sister Schools’ next chapter of success, from event management, to grant writing, to content creation. Most recently, she served as Donor Relations Manager for a child sponsorship organization in Bellingham, WA where she honed her writing skills, and learned how to best serve and inspire donors. She is most excited about the opportunity to help our supporters (you!) connect with the impact you’re making through your support. She's even visited Uganda twice!Join us in welcoming these two incredible women to our team and wishing them the best of luck as they drive our mission to teach compassion, service, and social responsibility to children & young adults.#SisterSchools #openingeyeschanginglives #compassion #service #socialresponsibility #uganda #seattle #local #dualimpact #staff #newstaff #welcome #goodluck ...
