Louise Tremblay joined Deep in 2016 as operations manager, bringing twenty years of experience in nonprofit management and fundraising with a focus on youth empowerment, social change, and community enrichment through arts and education. Louise spent five years directing youth programming for The ArtsCenter in Carrboro, North Carolina, where arts enrichment was provided to 30,000 students annually. Earlier in her career, she coordinated community education for a domestic violence support and prevention organization in coastal Maine, creating workshops for professionals in the fields of education, medicine, and law enforcement. A youth educator program she founded empowered teen volunteers to develop and deliver dating violence prevention programs for their peers.
Her fundraising experience includes serving as Assistant Director of the Annual Fund at Maryland Institute College of Art, in Baltimore, and coordinating the inaugural year of Maine’s Mitchell Scholarship Fund.
Louise has a BA in Human Ecology from College of the Atlantic, where all graduates design their own course of study. Her senior thesis, Reflections on a Life: Oral Histories of Maine Women, featured the stories of creative women in their eighties, and wove together her study of psychology, anthropology, gender, and art. She has long believed that stories matter and that developing personal narratives can be transformational.
