“Twitterpated” is how Gloria Hunter describes herself on the first day of her new job as Communications Assistant for Decatur City Schools Foundation. It’s a good thing, too, because she’ll be handling a good bit of Twitter as well as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social media outlets such as blogging and writing press releases. Using these tools, Gloria’s goal is to share stories of success with followers who support our City Schools.
“My main priority here at the Foundation is to not only tell
our community how awesome the Foundation is for making a difference for
students, but also to share how awesome our supporters are for making it all
possible!”
Gloria began May 16, 2017 and is excited to see how she can
begin making a difference right away. Her first job is creating a master
communications plan to strategize across departments both within the Foundation
and Decatur City Schools.
All of that sounds pretty fun right? But her favorite part?
“The variety,” she says. “Every day I’ll be doing something brand new—meeting
new people, exploring new social media outlets, strategizing for new
campaigns—every day more exciting than the last.”
Gloria graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a
degree in Professional Writing, and is happy to contribute strong skills in
copyediting, webpage copywriting, social media management, and creative writing
to a workplace she believes in.
“The Foundation is just the type of organization I am
excited to throw my weight into and push toward improvement. I believe in what
we’re accomplishing for our students, our community, and our Decatur.”
But there’s just one thing everyone should know about
Gloria. She is a dauntless leader for change, and sees the influence of the
Foundation within Decatur as a powerful driving force.
“One day, people will be looking at us for inspiration on how to bind schools and communities together.
We can be the leaders.”
