Ryan Chartier

Ryan is the Assistant Director of Annual Giving for the University of Vermont Foundation. He has a MA in English Literature and BA in Film and Television Studies from UVM. He has lived in Burlington for twelve years and is originally from Western Massachusetts. He hosts a weekly radio show on 90.1 WRUV FM and works on podcasting with friends. During his first visit to a movie theater as a child he exclaimed “Wow that’s a really big TV”!

Tamika Davis:

Tamika Davis is the Director of Individual Giving for Vermont Public Radio. After living in the sunny climates of Hawaii, Tanzania and Arizona for several years, she traded desert mountains for the snow-capped variety here in Vermont. She has a BA in Photography from the University of Arizona and an MA in Global Leadership from Hawaii Pacific University. Since her relocation in 2016, she has re-invigorated VPR’s major donor program, and slowly but surely assembled a wardrobe worthy of Vermont’s winters.
