Our Staff

This week’s staff update comes from Nick, navigating the dreaded “two-working-parents-two-young-children” matrix that has become a test of patience, creativity, and scheduling in our crisis environment.

Rita’s transition to working from home was perhaps the most complicated of anyone on our team, given that she somehow pulled off a move in the middle of the weirdest time in memory. Both she and her home office colleagues are now getting settled in to their new work space.

Somewhat overshadowed by the business of the season and the strangeness of the times has been our great delight in welcoming Nora back to Fletcher. As you’ll see, Nora has as deep a well of institutional knowledge as anyone at the school, and it’s been a boon for us to have her on our team, albeit not quite in the way any of us imagined.

Returning to our staff updates, today we’ll hear from Yaritza, gradually establishing a new routine for the workday.

As we all adjust to our new home-based work lives, I’ve asked all the members of our team to provide

We’re thrilled to welcome some new team members to our office, and the timing couldn’t be better. There’s lots of work to be done as we process and evaluate applications, and prepare to release admissions decisions! Today we introduce Yaritza Peña, whose prior admissions and international recruitment experience makes her a natural fit. And, in conjunction with Nick, her fine arts background greatly increases the high culture quotient on our team. Welcome, Yaritza!

We’ve got one remaining introduction to make to readers, closing out a few weeks of welcoming new faces to the blog, and to our team. Rita Berglund joined the team last week as our new Staff Assistant, and we’re delighted to have her here. Current and prospective applicants to Fletcher should take particular note, as Rita is likely to be the first face greeting visitors to our office, and may also be a first point of contact for phone and email inquiries, as well. I’ll let Rita take things from here.
