About me
Avalon McMullen, MBA is a multi‑disciplinary strategist, Audacity Coach, and Co‑Founder & Head of Growth at SciRise, where she leads revenue strategy, capital intelligence positioning, and high‑visibility outreach for mission‑driven organizations. With a decade of nonprofit experience and a background in project management, social media marketing, and organizational storytelling, she specializes in translating complex, data‑backed tools into clear value for leaders shaping the future of impact and innovation.
Her career is defined by execution excellence, creativity, and radical authenticity. After completing her MBA in just six months, Avalon built a thriving consulting practice, launched the Roanoke Creative Collaborative, and served as a national social media manager before joining SciRise—first as a consultant, then as a shareholder and growth leader. Across every chapter, her throughline has been audacity: letting herself want more, saying the quiet thing out loud, and taking bold steps toward the life she envisioned.
Avalon’s visibility and coaching work center on helping people connect with their future selves and turn clarity into action. Through her Audacity Training framework, she guides emerging professionals to identify the goals that feel exciting and a little scary, and practice introducing themselves as the version of themselves they’re becoming. Her sessions blend introspection, identity expansion, and practical momentum-building, making her a powerful facilitator for audiences navigating career transitions, innovation ecosystems, and the evolving landscape of emerging tech.
