Introducing our new Membership Development Manager!
Posted about 5 years ago by Ashley Blackmon
Good afternoon, everyone! We wanted to introduce Payal Tello to you (her first name is pronounced "pile"). She will be filling a new role as Membership Development Manager! You may be hearing from her as we continue to grow our amazing organization.
Payal is a native of Atlanta and a proud first-time mother of twin girls Nadia and Miraya. She loves finding any excuse to be in the sun and is most productive when everyone else is fast asleep. Payal attended Georgia State University where she received her BA in Psychology and Sociology. She also dabbled in School Psychology post-graduate studies before the birth of her daughters in 2013.
Payal has worn many hats as a professional and community member. Her life work aims to address adverse childhood experiences while promoting positive social, emotional, and cognitive growth from infancy throughout the lifespan. Payal's past experiences as a bicultural individual, a mother, and activist fuels her daily drive to leave the world a better place than she found it.
