In April 2026, Kassandra Eller joined the NICWA team as the development communications specialist. She is originally from the Greater Seattle area and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Central Washington University. She later earned a certificate in Nonprofit Management from Oregon State University. Kassandra has over five years of experience working with arts organizations across the Pacific Northwest and is excited to apply her skills in relationship-centered fundraising, marketing, and storytelling in support of NICWA’s mission. She is committed to supporting children and families facing hardship and to strengthening communities through culturally grounded work.
Outside the office, Kassandra can often be found behind her camera working on a photography project, exploring Oregon’s various hiking trails, slowly making her way through an ambitious to‑be‑read list, or spending time at home with her partner, pitbull, and tabby cat.
