Our Newest Face in Fundraising
We'd also like to formally introduce our newest Fundraising Program Representative, Kayleigh DeMello! Kayleigh is delighted to find herself here at Equal Exchange, her top choice after graduating from Emory University in Atlanta in 2009. Having spent three years deeply involved in the poetry scene, Kayleigh brings creative thinking and a resourcefulness that fits in well with the Equal Exchange fundraising team. She is pleased to work with schools and organizations across the country to raise money for their various initiatives while also supporting Equal Exchange and the small-scale farmers we work directly with. Three things you wish you knew about but didn’t know: 1) Kayleigh is named after a one-hit wonder of the '80s by Marillion. 2) She has performed on the stage of Carnegie Hall along with an elite youth chorus. 3) She has a Harry Potter tattoo on her right foot.
Kayleigh's sales territory includes the Southeast and Central U.S. Welcome, Kayleigh!
