As Camp North End’s Community Manager, Varian champions the project’s long-term vision through short-term activation and oversees marketing, events, and strategic partnerships. Previous work with Charlotte Center City Partners, 8 80 Cities, and the Knight Foundation cemented her passion for using placemaking strategies to spark public life and strengthen communities.
Varian is originally from the DC area and graduated from Wake Forest University. On days off she can be found starting the dance party at weddings, tending to her house plants, and adventuring through national parks with her husband and son.
