Rape Prevention Education, Rape Crisis Auckland, Whakatu MauriOperations, Fundraising & Marketing Manager
Jan. 2009 - Dec. 2013Auckland, New ZealandAt RPE I had the privilege of supporting our leadership, kaumātua, and support teams deliver culturally appropriate health education and prevention services to health professionals and youth within a Kaupapa Māori framework. During my tenure, I supported the executive director to triple funding, reduce cost per beneficiary, and expand our service delivery across Auckland. I also managed the agency’s marketing and successfully collaborated with corporate sponsor Vodafone, high-profile ad agency Aim Proximity, and various stakeholders to rebrand our youth portfolio, which included conducting focus groups, assembling a steering committee, launching new marketing collateral, educational booklet & materials, and a youth-informed website. I created and executed marketing campaigns for Professional Education courses as well as delivered a new website, quarterly newsletters, annual fundraising campaigns, and a successful fundraiser production of The Vagina Monologues. Leveraging my marketing and public relations skills, I supported the execution of media campaigns that influenced funding outcomes to the benefit of rape crisis agencies throughout New Zealand.
