First we have Michele Strauss, our new Director of Development. She is originally from N.J. and moved to Florida in 1989. She was in Sarasota for 20 years, moved to Rotonda West to be close to her job as Executive Director of Royal Palm Players on Boca Grande. We are glad to have her back in Sarasota and on board with us as our Director of Development. Michele loves animals and has 2 dogs and 2 cats. She is also an International Judge for United Feline Organization and has traveled to many exotic ports of call to judge cats. Michele is an accomplished Actress, appearing in over 80 productions and a talented Director, having directed over 35 plays. She is also an avid Trekkie and thinks Captain Kirk is the Cat’s Meow!
Next we have Kimberly Holowiak, our new marketing intern. Kimberly is (kind of) a Sarasota native. She grew up in Connecticut, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Oregon, and Florida... What a little traveler! For the past eight years Kimberly has been stationed in Sarasota where she attended Riverview High School, and continued on to Florida State University in Tallahassee where she recently graduated with a double degree in Editing, Writing and Media and French. She was also a nationally competitive gymnast for sixteen years, and worked at Scene Magazine in Sarasota twice; once as an intern as a high school senior, and again as an editorial assistant towards the end of her college career at Florida State University. She is now our marketing intern and we are loving it!
Here they are together at our last Friday Fest having a blast!
