Development Manager

Maggie Cusumano

Maggie graduated from Elon University in 2016 with a bachelor’s in English and Professional Writing and moved to Richmond shortly thereafter. Through working with neighborhood kids in Richmond’s East End during a year-long program, she realized her passion for serving and educating youth. Maggie was a teacher for four years at Youth Life Foundation of Richmond, an after-school tutoring program centered in the Northside. After four years in the classroom, she then transitioned into an admin position at Youth Life where she could better use her professional writing background. In this role she developed skills in grant writing, fundraising and development, and special events management. She is excited to now bring those skills to St. Andrew’s School, which she has admired since a few of her students attended the school early on in her time at Youth Life!
