Stephanie RendonNYC · 2026

I'm Stephanie Rendon, a bilingual (EN/ES) communications leader with 14+ years shaping narratives for mission-driven organizations.

I'm currently Head of Marketing & Communications at School in the Square, where I build and run the marketing and communications function for the entire PreK–12 dual-language network, a public charter network in Washington Heights and Inwood serving 800+ students through a dual-language English/Spanish model.

Before that, I led brand strategy, media relations, and editorial at FIU's Robert Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work, and shaped national communications for the American Red Cross and SOS Children's Villages.

I specialize in brand strategy, community engagement, crisis communications, and turning complex stories into coverage that moves people to act.

Featured Case Study

How a grad program got national press for being hands-on.

A dense, academic field course (a multi-agency disaster drill run across a Florida campus) turned into the kind of press release that reporters actually picked up. It ran in FIU News and was syndicated through regional outlets, including CBS News Miami.
