When it comes to digital communications, donor relations, community engagement, and content curation, Deontre’ is your guy! With several years of experiential and educational knowledge, he aims to continue applying his assertiveness, attention to detail and passion to create initiatives that are well-crafted and thoughtfully designed. He believes that the difference between good work and great work is paying attention to the ‘little things.’ Whether he’s interacting with donors or completing projects, it’s the details that make all the difference. He also stands on the principle of empathy and care for others, because being able to stand in other people’s shoes is important for individual development.

It is his desire to continue advocating for the communications industry and finding additional ways to incorporate his background with the intricacies of development. Professionally, Deontre’s passions include equity and visibility for Gen-Z employees, public media access for under-represented communities and four-day work weeks.

Deontre’ holds a BA in Mass Communications with a minor in Public Relations from Claflin University, and a MA in Communications from Southern New Hampshire University. He is also a member of several professional organizations.

When he’s not immersed in the world of development and communications, Deontre’ can be found whipping up delicious meals in the kitchen, spending time with his family and friends, or binging a new drama series!
