Bio
Emily Cutka, MSW
Riley is a highly talented young professional who is also kind and mature beyond her years. She is a strategic and thoughtful fundraiser who has a knack for developing and cultivating meaningful relationships with donors and community partners. Having been both her direct supervisor and her colleague, I believe she is a valuable team player and high performer across all aspects of her role. Her intelligence and ability to process information quickly and concisely is an asset to any industry, especially the nonprofit realm where staff wear countless hats and carry multiple responsibilities under very specific deadlines and budgets. Riley’s willingness to ask important questions or propose new and innovative approaches to this work is invaluable. Within the first few weeks in her role as events and outreach associate, Riley was tasked with planning and managing the Food Bank's largest annual event. She gracefully navigated the needs and expectations of more than 100 community partners in planning the event, while remaining under budget and on mission with every step. Riley is an asset to any team, and only continues to grow in her skills and abilities as an event planner, fundraiser, communicator, and nonprofit professional.
