Leandra Sharron
I'm an arts and nonprofit operations professional with over seven years of experience as a community arts and nonprofit operations leader and large scale event producer. As Executive Director of Spark Newton, I'm committed to accessibility, using thoughtful systems and processes to strengthen arts and cultural programming that fosters community connection and expands opportunities for all. Previously, I served as Director of Operations for the Boston Book Festival, where I oversaw event management, financial tracking, and sponsorship. My career has been rooted in nonprofit and arts organizations and creating operational foundations that support mission-driven work.I hold a BA in Arts Management & Theatre from the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and camping and I remain deeply motivated by work that brings people together.
