The Work Behind The Stories
Long before a story reached a newsletter, a website, or a sponsor’s inbox, there was work happening behind the scenes.
My role lived in the space between field teams and supporters, transforming information into meaningful communication while helping steward the systems that connected children, sponsors, and staff across multiple countries.
It was equal parts storytelling, administration, and strategy. Every detail mattered because every detail belonged to someone’s story.
A Closer Look
These location profiles introduced sponsors to the communities where children lived, offering context that helped transform sponsorship from a name on a page into a deeper understanding of place.
Every Place Has a Story
Every child belonged to a place with its own story.
From websites and social media to postcards, promotional materials, and printed resources, each piece was created to communicate with clarity, strengthen campaigns, and help supporters engage with the mission.
Designed to Connect
Every piece had a purpose.
Preparing sponsor mailings meant far more than stuffing envelopes. Every packet was individually assembled—matching child photos, letters, location profiles, and sponsorship materials for each family’s unique sponsorships before thousands of pieces were mailed each year.
One Envelope at a Time
Connection begins with the details.
Beyond the Desk
Some of the most meaningful parts of my role happened in the places these stories came from. Traveling with Iris Global gave me the opportunity to visit communities firsthand, learn from local teams, and better understand the people behind the communications I was creating.
Those experiences shaped the way I approached every sponsorship profile, campaign, and story. They reminded me that behind every spreadsheet, postcard, and email was a real child, a real family, and a community with its own story.
