Nanci grew up in a family of educators, studied Sociology and Early Childhood Education, and came to NYC in the 1990’s to pursue a career in teaching. But she took a massive detour when offered a job with the Walt Disney Company and spent the next 20+ years focused on advertising sales for a variety of their properties – including FamilyFun, Discover, ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com and more. Working for Disney was a wonderful experience that helped her forge amazing relationships and build critical skills, but it was never fully satisfying. She’s spent the last two years devoted to caring for her son, Miles (6yrs old), and volunteering with a local nonprofit that is near and dear to her heart. This time helped clarify that she needed to join the nonprofit sector officially and she began searching for organizations who shared her values and had a mission she was passionate about. Finding LINC felt like Christmas morning. She is so grateful to be welcomed into your family and looks forward to doing great things with all of you.
