Background

About Chloe Mullarkey

Equity-focused social impact professional specializing in program development, capacity building, partnership development, and strategic planning using business and health promotion frameworks. I am deeply passionate about education and opportunity access, social and economic mobility, equity, resilience, and justice for underserved and underrepresented communities. As a first generation college graduate, I worked in youth development research and later served as a college advisor in a Bronx high school. I co-founded First Workings with the goal of helping NYC students build social capital, and addressing socioeconomic and opportunity equity. As the founding Executive Director of First Workings, I led the development and growth of the organization, handling operations, strategic planning, evaluation and annual reports, strategic partnerships, fundraising, and communications. I now serve as a strategic advisor and board member remotely as First Workings continues to grow. Since moving away from NYC, I have consulted for large national nonprofit organizations, universities, and international corporations on public health, education equity, workforce development, impact evaluation, nonprofit management, ESG, and DEI. I hold an MPH from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, a B.S. of Applied Psychology from NYU’s Steinhardt School, and a certificate in Environmental, Social, and Governance (fka CSR) from CU Boulder’s Leeds School of Business.
