I am running for KPFK Local Board Secretary with New Day Pacifica. As a 23 year old recent college graduate, I am looking forward to bringing new voices to carry on the mission that KPFK has been driving forwards since 1959. My background is in psychology and education, and I am excited to use this experience to involve the public in Pacifica’s outreach and education programs. I also studied biology and have worked in field research, which requires strong writing, organizational and computer skills. As Secretary, I hope to use these skills to bring KPFK further into the 21st century.
I began at KPFK as a dedicated listener, then a volunteer, and since then have been working on environmental issues for the station. Since I listened to KPFK before getting involved, I understand the importance of catering to our listeners and supporters, and will advocate for and design surveys to find out what listeners most want to hear. I am also going to focus on involving young listeners to bring ideas and support from new generations.
I have experience organizing and advertising art and music showcases, including ticket sales, social media, and poster design. I want to use these skills to reach an even bigger and more diverse audience when marketing KPFKs’ events. I’ve previously worked in fundraising, an experience that will allow me to understand and contribute to KPFKs’ fund raising goals.
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of Los Angeles’ most progressive listener supported radio station.
