Bio
Bailey is a philanthropy event and marketing professional, positive psychology trained well-being coach, and community connector. She has spent her career in academic medicine, higher education, start-ups, and non-profit organizations. She is currently Director of Administration and Strategic Planning for Advancement and External Affairs at Syracuse University.
Before that, she worked at Beth Israel Lahey Health, Massachusetts's second-largest healthcare system. She lead all print, digital, creative, and video philanthropy programs for 13 hospitals. She also managed their 80-runner Boston Marathon team, chaired the Organizational Values Task Force, and served on the executive DEI Council.
Her mission has always been to create meaningful moments and experiences that allow customers, clients, colleagues, and donors to feel a deep sense of engagement and belonging.
In addition to her MAPP degree, she holds a Bachelor’s in Communications from Ithaca College, a Certificate in Applied Psychology from the Flourishing Center, and an Applied Positive Psychology Coach certification from the Flourishing Center.
When she is not wrapped up in discussions about philanthropy or positive psychology, she's crafting mocktails, dancing to Macklemore, trying bold lipsticks, buying graphic t-shirts, and hanging out in downward-facing dog. She lives with her wonderful husband, Matt, and their sweet daughter, Adelaide.
