In her role, Ruja manages marketing and communications activities, including leading Google Ads efforts, maintaining the CDP website, writing impact stories, reviewing and editing content, and supporting other digital engagement activities.
Ruja’s passion for communications comes from a strong desire to do good and make a difference in the world.

Most notably, Ruja worked on the development and creation of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County’s Be the One video, and on introducing Red Nose Day to Sarasota to raise money for children in poverty. She also led media outreach efforts for the Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, the local chapter of a nationwide movement to increase the number of children reading on grade-level by the end of third grade.
Born in Bulgaria, Ruja now lives in Florida with her dog, Sirius Black.
