Marissa Kuczkowski is an arts administrator and movement artist originally from Burlington, North Carolina. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance & Choreography and a minor Anthropology in 2019. Fulfilling various administrative roles in multiple non-profit companies across the U.S. and always on the move, Marissa has developed a deep passion for community-based work - especially that which aims to bridge gaps in accessibility. Currently, Marissa serves as an Administrative Assistant at Burlington Academy of Dance & Arts (NC), the Programming & Development Coordinator for KARIZMA Performing Arts Company (NC), and the Archivist for Deborah Slater Dance Theatre (CA). Outside of work, Marissa enjoys dancing, traveling, pottery, hiking, hosting gatherings, and watching sunsets. Marissa could not be more excited to work alongside her childhood bestfriend, Ashlie, to help make Bayside Service Dogs successful in fulfilling its mission.
