Meet the NCRP team
Events Intern
Nichia McFarlane assists the Learning and Engagement team in coordinating fieldwork activities and planning events such as the NCRP Impact Awards.
Prior to her role at NCRP, Nichia was a fundraiser for the child-focused humanitarian organization Plan International. She secured sponsors for their Because I Am a Girl campaign, which aims to end global gender inequities that keep millions of girls from pursuing an education.
Nichia believes in the power of informed philanthropy to promote an equitable society. Shortly after graduating college, she relocated to Washington, D.C., to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector. She hopes to expand her knowledge of nonprofit organizations through her role as Events Intern at NCRP.
Nichia is from New York City, where she earned her B.A. in English from Baruch College.
In her free time, Nichia enjoys reading and writing poetry, swimming and visiting museums.
