My name is Mariana Witmer, and I’m a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major at Brown University. I’m from rural Maine, but spend most of my time in Providence, Rhode Island now. When I first came to Brown, I joined the Circle chapter as I drawn to Circle’s mission of funding on locally-based solutions to increase girls’ access to education globally. This past year, I ran awareness events and managed our alumni network. I’m excited to now start working closely with the incredible women on our Management Team. This year, I hope to continue expanding our Circle community and help more girls’ achieve a secondary education!

Our Executive Directors handle communications between the volunteers, the management team and the graduate board of directors. They also focus on long term development of the organization. They lead the team to ensure that Circle of Women is an exemplar of ethical fundraising and engagement.
