Domenica Giovannini, DBA, MPH
MaberMe Founder & Primary Consultant

Domenica is a jack of many trades (and not afraid to say it) and has worked within a myriad of disciplines developing a unique skill set which spans from major fund development and grant writing to digital marketing. By education she is an expert in nonprofit and government operations, fund development, program development, and compliance. By choice she has become an expert in digital marketing, strategic messaging, communications, and collaboration for good.

Domenica has an undergraduate degree in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara and a graduate degree in Public Health from Touro University. During her Masters program she travelled to Ethiopia to research health perceptions and knowledge of the local Health Extension Workers and while there started to develop a health marketing vs health education model to share information that ultimately is aiming to change behaviors. Most recently, Domenica completed her Doctor of Business Administration Degree at Touro University Worldwide and graduated with Summa Cum Laude honors. Her research was on perceptions of internal communications among Bay Area nonprofits in the hyrbid/remote work environments during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

When faced with underemployment and adversity in 2011, this knowledge led her to start consuling in photography and social media marketing company (DG Creative Marketing) which worked to transform marketing and communications in the local government and nonprofit arenas. What set the methodologies apart was the merging traditional public affairs and communications with modern and innovative marketing strategies. Like all things alive, her business grew from a small sole proprietorship to a network of consultants helping businesses be better. In 2013 MaberMe was born creating a further reach and ability to help businesses and agencies advance. "Maber" means "Working together with passion" in the native language of Ethiopia, Amharic.

Domenica is now known in the Greater Bay Area for her advanced skills in stragegic messaging, policy communications, disaster/emergency response communications, and fund/business development. She has worked with government agencies, Tribal organizations, nonprofits, and social enterprises all over the greater Bay Area, Mendocino County, Sacramento County, and throughout the United States. In addition, over the years, she has become a speaker and guest lecturer on health and community based communications aiming to move the needle on the complex issues facing the United States.
