About Lynn Carroll

I love working with people who are passionate about their work. I cultivate meaningful relationships with students, alumni, and donors while sharing the impact that nonprofit organizations make in our community. Public media has always been part of my world, and I\'m excited to join WRTI as a mid-level giving officer, helping secure a solid future for jazz and classical radio in Philadelphia.I\'ve worked in higher education for more than a decade, encouraging students and young alumni to build networks to support them in their professional lives. I\'m interested in building long-term relationships and leveraging those relationships to benefit the community.I love to write. My writing style is honest, empathetic, and self-deprecating with a bit of wry humor. My articles have been featured by The Muse, Fairygodboss, and Parker Dewey. I\'ve been a guest on the JPHigherEd and DelVal podcasts and have been interviewed on career strategy by Monster.com.I\'m a LinkedIn \"super user,\" cultivating meaningful connections across all industries. I truly enjoy making introductions, helping people create careers they love, and putting great people in touch with their vocational passion. Let\'s connect!

   As a mid-level giving officer in public media, I serve as a bridge for those folks who love music, value community, and want to nurture classical and jazz talent in Philadelphia. I enjoy getting to know our supporters, learning what WRTI offers them, and developing meaningful relationships to help sustain WRTI and its impact well into the future.
