Citrine Ghraowi

As Senior Partnerships Specialist, Citrine manages the partnerships process, working closely with clients and interdisciplinary teams to identify opportunities and manage the response workflow, ensuring a strategic and efficient product delivery. 

After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in International Relations, Citrine worked at various non-profit refugee resettlements in Texas, New York and Paris. Before joining AREA 17, Citrine transitioned from resettlement work into the creative space at The Ad Council where she helped manage various campaigns ranging from the Coronavirus Response initiative in partnership with The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to Alzheimer’s Awareness in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Association.

In her spare time, Citrine enjoys finding a new park or cafe with a good book in hand (particularly anything by Milan Kundera or Alain de Botton), drinking Turkish coffee, and aimlessly walking around Manhattan on Sunday afternoons.
