Meet the Google for Nonprofits Team
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Have you ever wondered who is behind the content you see on the Google for Nonprofits blog, our Google+ page or our monthly newsletter? In an effort to personalize our communications and give a face to Google for Nonprofits, we’ll meet a few members of our team in their own words.

1. Andrea Xu, Social Media Manager
“My name is Andrea Xu and I manage social media for Google for Nonprofits. I am privileged to communicate with this awesome community every day through [our] Google+ page. I love learning about the creative ways nonprofits are using Google tools to promote their cause. I am originally from Chicago area, and recently moved to the Bay Area. Since moving, I miss deep dish pizza, but have a newfound love for hiking!”
2. Katie Kellogg, Blog Manager
“I coordinate with our Google teams to post relevant information and write original content. Being at the intersection of technology and non-profits, our team gets to equip people and organizations with tools to help them change the world. I'm perpetually honored to be a part of Google for Nonprofits. A fun fact about me is I've been to all the Disney theme parks, except for one.”
3. Tory Voight, Newsletter Manager
“I interview various Nonprofits and Googlers, and research relevant Google updates for our content. It's split into four sections: 'By the way', 'What's new', 'Tools in action' and 'Ask an Expert'. I always learn something new with each month's work!
Growing up, I received support from Nonprofits - anything from food when my family couldn't afford it, or a mentor that helped me believe in myself. Those opportunities shaped me into the person I am now. As a G4NP 20%er, this is my small way of giving back to such outstanding organizations.
Believing in work-life balance, I'm attempting to surf mornings in Pacifica and work on my oil paintings at night. In my former life, I dairy farmed and taught snowboarding in Vermont. I love being outdoors, so feel right at home in the Bay Area.“
4. Leslie Hernandez Dinneen, Product Marketing Manager
“I have always loved nonprofit organizations - started volunteering when I was seven. I love Google for Nonprofits because our program is all about helping nonprofits use Google's technology tools to further their mission.
Before I was a Googler, I spent a year in Argentina interviewing ~12 Argentine human rights organizations for a research fellowship."
