Katie Vallas

Katie leads Teacher & Donor Marketing, the team is responsible for growing and engaging the community of teachers and donors using DonorsChoose through community programs, partnerships, and campaigns. Her team builds programs like the teacher ambassador program, launches marketing efforts around major corporate and foundation-giving moments, and guides the organization to make the most of big moments like Back-to-School, Teacher Appreciation Week, and beyond.

Prior to joining the team, Katie taught history in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where DonorsChoose's generous army of supporters always made sure her junior high students had notebooks, pencils, and books.
