Schuyler Watkins Joins Project Bread

By Ellen Schwier.

Project Bread, the state’s leading antihunger organization, is pleased to welcome Schuyler Watkins as a Communications Intern. In her new role, Schuyler joins the award-winner Communications department to help roll out a host of events and information about Project Bread’s new campaign, “A Fresh Approach to Ending Hunger.” 

“I am honored to work with such a renowned organization,” said Watkins, a native of Closter, New Jersey, and current North Andover resident. “While attending the 45th Walk for Hunger, I was moved by Project Bread’s effort to hold such a momentous, well organized event within three weeks of the Marathon bombings. I am delighted now to be a part of the organization and contribute to the good it does throughout the state.”

Schuyler is currently working toward her bachelor’s degree in communication arts and sciences at Merrimack College, where she is also vice president of her class, president of Lambda Pi Eta (a National Communication Association’s official honor society), and associate editor-in-chief of Merrimack College’s newspaper, The Beacon.

Prior to joining Project Bread, Schuyler was a Public Relations Intern at 7NEWS on NBC and CW56, a media sponsor for Project Bread for 28 years, where she assisted in outreach and promotion.

“We’re very happy to have Schuyler join us here at Project Bread,” said Rita Guastella, director of communications at Project Bread. “She has an intuitive understanding of the importance of our work and is the kind of young leader we want to mentor and promote.”
