Background

About Patrick Letellier

Three essentials that serve me well at work-and all arenas of life: 1. Raising funds for causes I believe in: this has always come easy-because I love it. • Leading and hosting fundraisers: food drives, house parties for battered women’s shelters, marathon races for AIDS research, plus my full-time job securing 6-7 figure gifts. The gift of service. I'm a skilled writer, especially persuasive writing and storytelling. • Won three national journalism awards for essays, investigative reports, and social justice writing. Distilling complex topics into compelling narratives is storytelling and grant writing at its best, and I love it. Earning a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology: this honed communication skills and empathy that prove useful-beyond what I could have imagined-in every job. • Raising and and discussing difficult topics with care and diplomacy, engaging and putting people at ease, generating a sense of calm and mutual respect, and empathy as a quiet leadership trait.
