Summer graduated in December 2024 from Central College with a Bachelor of Arts in English, where she honed her exceptional writing and communication skills. As a leader on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and an athlete, and then student coach for the Women’s Triathlon team, she developed strong leadership, organizational, and interpersonal skills.

Summer previously interned with Many Hands, where her dedication and talent quickly impressed us. She seamlessly integrated into our team and consistently exceeded expectations.

In her role as Marketing Coordinator, Summer will play a vital role in enhancing Many Hands’ brand and reaching a wider audience. She will craft compelling website content, blog posts, and social media updates that tell the impactful stories of Many Hands. She will also oversee our social media presence across various platforms, assist with the planning and execution of key events, and support the Many Hands development team in identifying and applying for grant opportunities.

Summer’s passion for storytelling, combined with her strong work ethic and positive attitude, makes her an invaluable asset to our team. We are confident that she will make a significant contribution to Many Hands’ mission.

Summer is a triplet and enjoys spending time with her siblings. She also has a beloved dog named Sunday. Summer has a passion for travel and has previously traveled to Haiti and Abaco experienced firsthand the impact of Many Hands’ work in both places. 

We are excited for the future of Many Hands with Summer on board!
