Versatile Tutor with Humanities Expertise

Mickey M.

Hi there! My name is Mickey and I’m a driven professional most recently serving as a Regional Organizing Director while also working to complete my undergraduate degree in Political Economy at Georgetown University. I am a National Merit Finalist, Eagle Scout, and relentless optimist. I excel at delivering results even in intense situations where stress burns hot and emotions run high.

My yearslong involvement in the collegiate and community performing arts worlds is just one example of my familiarity with creatively collaborating with a large number of people towards one shared vision. In this context, I have particularly shined in leadership roles whether as a director giving feedback to actors to better hone their craft or as a stage manager keeping the production running on time and advocating for the wellbeing of the cast and crew. Whether on stage, backstage, or in the tech booth, I have always strived towards providing an excellent audience experience — no matter the obstacle the show must go on.

While situated in a wildly different field, my professional career holds true to the same bedrock principles. As a Regional Organizing Director on a high-profile U.S. Senate race this past year, countless challenges were thrown at my team. Just as performing onstage, we had to be quick to adapt while also remaining mission-driven. In my management role, responsible for 4 full-time organizers, 3 part-time interns, and over 400 volunteers, I wore many hats: but none more satisfying than the one of coach. Everyday I coached my team towards constantly improving their skills. And despite the sky-high stakes of control of the U.S. Senate and ticking away of the countdown clock towards Election Day, my team delivered.

Other transferable experiences include leading my Boy Scout Troop as Senior Patrol Leader, teaching a class to HS freshman as a Peer Mentor, and volunteering to teach tennis to players with Down’s Syndrome through the Buddy Up program.
