Janelle McNiff

I’m Janelle McNiff, a NYC-based studio arts graduate with a strong blend of creative practice and people-focused experience. My background spans printmaking and photography, plus hands-on roles like camp management, childcare, barista work, and teaching workshops. I’m comfortable working independently and working directly with others.

Previously, I was the director of waterfront programming at a YMCA sleepaway camp, giving me transferable skills in production and planning work. I also worked as a research-based printmaking assistant through Teach Print and the Monira Foundation. I enjoy combining careful technique with clear communication, developing my skills whenever possible. Whether I’m certifying lifeguards, assisting artists, leading workshops, or creating social media content, I do it all with passion and dedication.
