Introduce Our New Marketing & Communications Specialist

The Project Pinball Team are proud to officially announce our newest addition!

Meet Taj Kniceley! She was born and raised in Springfield, OH, and attended Wittenberg University. She is currently completing online Gardening and Landscape courses at Stratford Career Institute and will be finishing her bachelor’s degree in English at Michigan State University. She also works at her neighborhood market in the cheese department and in the garden center! A little over two years ago she moved to Michigan and now resides in Grand Rapids with her significant other, two cats, a leopard gecko, 20 plus plants, and whatever wildlife that finds their way to her.

“I’m very excited to be a part of this community! It’s so important to free our minds of the stress reality can sometimes swallow us in and pinball is a great outlet. When I’m not helping out the charity, I like to hike, restore antiques, and get lost playing Mario on my old Game Boy. My goal is to help the team at Project Pinball grow the charity even more and continue creating fun and safe spaces for people of all ages to relax and recover. I’m looking forward to my first machine dedication–it will definitely be one for the books!”

Taj will oversee and help coordinate all of Project Pinball’s events and marketing. If you are interested in pairing up with Taj on a fundraising event OR if you are are interested in Project Pinball volunteer opportunities, you can contact her at develop.projectpinball@gmail.com.

She will be attending the 38th Annual Pinball Expo in Schaumburg, IL, with the team on October 19th-22nd. Be sure to give her a warm welcome to the pinball community! She might even accept a high-score challenge on her favorite machine, The Mandalorian.
