About Maleah Schmidt

As a former D1 athlete, I know the significance of communication across a team. In my current role, I specialize in social media, marketing, PR, and storytelling that highlights mission-driven work. I’m passionate about using clear, thoughtful communication to strengthen community impact and build meaningful connections. I joined Ulysses Development Group as an Executive Assistant and Office Manager, where I gained a deep understanding of our operations, culture, and commitment to People First values. In my current position, I’ve expanded that foundation into leading our communications strategy, creating content that highlights our affordable housing developments, amplifies resident voices, and showcases the partnerships that make our work possible.My strengths include:• Strategic and creative content development• Digital and social media management• Public relations and media outreach• Event communications and storytelling• Community engagement and stakeholder messagingI’m energized by work that blends creativity with purpose and by collaborating with teams who value integrity, continuous improvement, and authentic connection. I love to help people understand the real impact of affordable housing.If you’re interested in connecting about communications, community engagement, or the intersection of storytelling and social impact, I’d love to connect.
