With more than 15 years of experience across all areas of the nonprofit sector, her consultancy work focuses on strategic revenue generation, integrated marketing and scaling impact. As a former teacher, Witnie believes that children and families in under-served communities, need to have access to quality and holistic educational experiences, along with the essential resources needed to break cycles of generational poverty. She holds a certificate in Nonprofit Management from Duke University, a B.A. in Theatre, and B.S in Health Sciences both from Florida International University; and a M.S. in Psychology and Ed.S in Leadership, both from Nova Southeastern University.
