Sylvia / 정아름 (she/her) is somewhere between first and second generation Korean American, born and raised on unceded Lenape land in the Bronx. She is proudly a nail salon kid, and 100% a product of New York City public education. As the Development Officer of Institutional Giving, she supports Third Wave Fund’s fundraising efforts through institutional funding. She has served a variety of development roles at NYC-based and national nonprofits over her career, most recently at Grantmakers in the Arts. In her out of office life, Sylvia was a longtime crisis hotline volunteer with New York City Anti-Violence Project, and is a TNR-certified human to her rescue cat. You will most likely find her preoccupied by creative abolition and critical connections, or daydreaming about noodles.
