I can't believe so much time has gone by without me updating my website! I've been working as the Executive Director of the New School of Music in Cambridge, MA and haven't had time to update. I've recently left my position at NSM and am continuing as a consultant for the organization. But I'm in a comprehensive job search and hope to find one in the next couple of months. I would love to stay in the arts if possible, as my experience in arts administration has been incredible. I have grant writing skills and fundraising/development experience, and I believe these can be applied to any business or organization. As a leader of a school, I managed the budget and supervised the faculty. I did the hiring and Staff supervision. My vision with the New School of Music was to create a warm musical environment for all levels and ages with diverse programming, community events, and high-quality concerts. My experience leading NSM was an incredible opportunity to use my skills in so many interesting areas.

I will post my resume on this website this week, so stay tuned. If you have a potential job or suggestion in my job search, email me at mercooper@hotmail.com.
