Mike Givens

I attended an accredited university in Virginia and received two bachelor's degrees (English and Marketing). I then attended a private university in Boston and went on to receive a master's degree in journalism. After graduating, I worked at a metropolitan newspaper as a freelance reporter for more than two years. I then worked at a national non-profit in the social justice field. Working as a communications specialist, I was responsible for assisting in the execution of a comprehensive communications program that included social media, press releases, news/blog posts, and a quarterly news publication. Currently, I am the communications manager for a Boston-area non-profit. My job responsibilities include managing the communications and public relations function of the organization, creating and maintaining relationships with the media, writing/editing communications materials (leaflets, press statements, etc.) web design and maintenance and brand management.
