Meet Brittney Snyder

Prior to entering the field of development and alumni relations, Brittney Snyder pursued a career in music. Brittney earned her bachelor’s degree in music education from Nazareth University in Rochester, NY and her master’s in flute performance at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. Brittney joined Hopkins in August 2024 after spending six years working in development for the ASU foundation. She explains that she was immediately drawn to Hopkins because of the institution’s commitment to excellence in research, education, and health care. “The opportunity to contribute to Johns’ Hopkins mission and be a part of a world-class fundraising team was something I couldn’t pass up on,” she says.

Brittney oversees development offices in the schools of Education, Nursing, Government and Policy, Carey Business School, Bloomberg School, School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS), International Programs, the Center for Talented Youth (CTY) and the Berman Institute of Bioethics. In her role, she leverages data to inform strategy and drive organizational performance. She supports her teams with talent management and professional growth, while serving as a trusted partner to her direct reports and their academic leadership.

Brittney says that Hopkins’ greatest strength is our people. “Our exceptional DAR team members each play an important role in advancing the organization, while world-class faculty are instrumental in tackling the most pressing challenges around the globe. Beyond our talent, it is evident that the culture here is one of genuine care and collaboration; people truly support and look out for one another.”
