Currently I am working at New Leaders, where over the last four years I have held positions in marketing, recruitment and program operations, developing expertise in digital communications and recruitment and admissions. At New Leaders I have worked to raise the profile of the organization by developing high-quality marketing materials, growing our social media presence and sending emails to clearly communicate our mission. Throughout tremendous change in the organization I have consistently exceeded recruitment goals and built a thriving online community from scratch. I have publicly represented New Leaders at various high-profile events and conferences and believe that my dual expertise in recruitment and digital media would be a huge asset to WMI in this position. I look forward to speaking with you more about this opportunity. Thank you for your consideration. Best, Anna Luke anna.c.luke@gmail.com 313.410.8829
