Kyle Clifford

Kyle joined GMRI as the Donor Engagement Coordinator, where she supports the development team’s fundraising efforts and engagement strategies. In this role, she coordinates and executes both public and private events, while also assisting with the annual giving program.

Before joining GMRI, Kyle gained experience in event planning, program development, and community outreach across various non-profit sectors, including higher education and the arts. Her work with The Umbrella Arts Center’s Arts & Environment program in Concord, MA, allowed her to explore the intersection of arts and science, which fueled her interest in GMRI's interdisciplinary approach to addressing global ocean challenges.

Kyle holds a B.S. in Psychology from Northeastern University, and an M.Ed. in Arts, Community, & Education from Lesley University. She looks forward to building meaningful relationships with donors and partners, fostering support for GMRI’s mission and programs.
