About Elaine

Elaine Davenport came to StoryCorps as a facilitator in 2006. After a year of traveling across the country and listening to the inspirational stories of people from New York to Iowa to Georgia, she decided to dedicate herself full-time to helping spread the word about StoryCorps. Elaine was the first member of the new Marketing & Communications department, and she is thrilled to be applying her creativity, from years of art and architecture classes, and her organizational skills from working at various nonprofit companies, to increasing awareness of and participation in this phenomenal project.
