Public Programs Associate Manager

Pronouns: she/her

Jenna Nishimura joins Literary Arts with over a decade of project management and event orchestration experience with nonprofits and small businesses in the U.S., the U.K., and West Africa. As the Public Programs Associate Manager, Jenna supports the events such as the Portland Arts & Lectures series at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and the annual Portland Book Festival, as well as the The Archive Project radio show – a podcast and weekly broadcast on Oregon’s NPR affiliate, OPB. When she is not making and checking off lists, Jenna can be found adventuring with her two rescue sighthounds, woodworking, drafting her work-in-progress novel, or curled up with a good book and a stash of chocolate.
