Our Team

Just a few of the many Reveal Beauty volunteers.

ANna Doan - Founder & CEO

Anna has led Reveal Beauty’s mission since 2007, forging partnerships with safe houses like Restore and Safe Horizons, pioneering the launch of key programs such as Reveal NYC’s annual Valentine’s Day makeover event and monthly women’s workshops, and aggressively recruiting volunteers to support throughout the year. She is compelled by the power of a modern-day Cinderella story, where positive uplifting experiences can reinforce love and healing in a woman’s brokenness and process of regaining her life.

As the chair of Reveal NYC’s Board of Directors, Anna is responsible for supporting the leadership in ensuring the organization’s brand, values, programs and financial initiatives are aligned with the core vision and strategy. Outside of Reveal NYC, Anna holds a leadership role at a digital advertising agency.

ELLEN CHANG - BOARD MEMBER & DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND FUNDRAISING

Ellen first volunteered with Reveal Beauty in early 2019, serving as an event host at Reveal’s Annual Makeover Event in NYC. She was so moved by the experience that she wanted to contribute more to Reveal Beauty and everything this organization does to support empowerment and healing among female survivors of domestic violence and sex trafficking. Shortly thereafter, Ellen joined the leadership team heading up development and fundraising, the first time this organization has had a resource focusing on financial contributions for its important cause.

Ellen is thrilled to be working with such an energetic, dynamic, and caring team dedicated to a common mission and vision supporting female survivors. Outside of Reveal Beauty, Ellen is a human capital and organizational effectiveness professional, and has passions for travel, food and wine, health and fitness, fashion and beauty, and arts and culture…she loves exploring new places and experiencing new things!

VANESSA MORRO - DIRECTOR OF EVENTS

Vanessa was introduced to Reveal Beauty while searching for a organization where she could volunteer her time and skills in event management. She served as one of the planners for this year's annual Valentine's Day makeover event and was blown away by all of the volunteers and the immediate impact it made in survivor's lives. Shortly after she joined the Reveal Beauty team as their Event Director. She is extremely grateful and proud to be part of an organization whose goals are to empower women through beauty and strength.

Outside of Reveal Beauty, Vanessa is the Events Production Manager of Lightbox, an event space in midtown NYC where art and technology collide in a digital world.

TANYA MARQUES - Director of partnerships

Tanya joined the Reveal Beauty team last year after volunteering at the Annual Makeover Event.

Tanya is a professional makeup artist who has worked on commercial, editorial, film, and music video sets as well as does weddings. She also teaches makeup classes and enjoys the opportunity to share her talent and creativity with other women. Tanya is honored to be part of an organization that enables her to help such deserving women recognize their own beauty.
