In her new role, Woish will lead Berkeley Rep's fundraising strategy and development efforts, working closely with the theatre's leadership, Board of Trustees, donors, and community to build philanthropic support for the organization and its artistic, educational, and community programs. She will lead efforts for major gifts, institutional giving, grants, and donor engagement and stewardship, while shaping fundraising initiatives that support Berkeley Rep's long-term artistic and organizational goals.

Prior to KQED, she served as Vice President of Development at Planned Parenthood Northern California. Her previous experience also includes fundraising and development work with Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation, YMCA of San Francisco, and the Asian Art Museum.
