EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Our fearless leader hails from the great state of Illinois. Our Mama-Chicago Bear Annie has been a dedicated public servant for over 20 years. Annie got her start serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Benin - a tiny country in west Africa. Her 2 term service experience was très bien, no wonder she always proudly reflects and regails her experience! She returned to the midwest with many skills in her back pocket and a fresh pair of sunglasses (seen in headshot). The sunglasses came in handy for the bright futures of the children she worked as a Club Director for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee. Feeling called to serve again, Annie hit the road and headed west. Kicking off her AmeriCorps experience with a summer VISTA term in Alaska, she then made her way down south to Prescott, Arizona. Annie has been an integral part of this team since her very first role as the VISTA team leader in 2017. There was no doubt from this experience that she was a natural born leader. Her caring and supportive spirit helped grow Arizona Serve into what it is today. Annie oversees member management, training, integration into Prescott College, finance, grants, and staff - this gal does it all! When she’s not rallying the team, you can find Annie rallying her family in sunny Scottsdale. Annie and her wife, Hillary, have four wonderful children, a tricked out camping trailer, many loving pets, and overall a welcoming home where everyone is part of the family!

DIRECTOR, GRANTS AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

This Irvy-Girly is writing the playbook on all things VISTA. Allison entered into the world of National Service in 2020, fueled by her experiences with United Way, Watershed Management Group, and the Tucson City of Gastronomy. Her passion for environmental and social justice led her to put her pink strawberry keyboard to work! Grant writing is one of the many interests that make Allison a superstar Program Director. Her ability to tell our story and highlight members' impacts get us that $$$. She also brings our VISTA team together as they soar to new heights in that Tucson sunset. Allison rocks it on the soccer field and drives home bumpin’ her favorite tunes. If you hear Bad Bunny or Post Malone in the car next to you, it just may be our darling Doty.

PROGRAM COMMUNICATIONS AND EVALUATION MANAGER

A girl from New Mexico travels further west. Katie began serving in 2019 as an AmeriCorps VISTA in Prescott, Arizona. There she made lots of friends and proved to be a natural-born leader within her cohort bringing the team together. After she completed her term, she relocated to Tucson and served two more part-time State terms for Arizona Serve and Family Housing Resources. Her go-getter attitude earned her a Master's in Public Administration with a focus on Nonprofit Management from the University of Arizona. Today, Katie manages our Opportunity Youth Skill Up and Peer Coach programs. She also co-supervises our communications and evaluation efforts. In her free time, you can find this groovy gal keeping up with the latest pop culture, trying new coffee shops, getting to the top of the Duolingo leaderboard, reading, and having passionate discussions about Taylor Swift and boy bands.

PROGRAM AND EVENTS MANAGER

During the day, Sean enjoys solving problems and supporting efforts that tangibly improve the lives and experiences of his fellow man. He views it as a privilege, rather than a responsibility, to work to meaningfully better the world. He brings to the table his years of coaching and mentoring experience as well as his prior work with the Prescott Unified School District's volunteer teams. Though he got his start in AmeriCorps shortly after graduating from Case Western Reserve University in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in history, he found the experience fulfilling enough to sign up for another year of punishment in the hope of helping others find their own meaningful experiences, before officially joining the team as an official staff member. Sean manages Prescott AmeriCorps State members, processes invoices, and supports team leaders as they plan Day of Service events. After work hours, Sean is a quintessential dork and a loveable rapscallion. When he's not busy roughing it as a rogue, he enjoys listening to Jukebox the Ghost, watching Community, reading Redwall, and getting trounced by skilled fencers.

MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAM MANAGER

This time, Stacy has got it going on! Stacy comes to our team with a background in psychology, volunteer management, community outreach and education, social justice, capacity building, and service learning. This Alabama angel traded the swampy land of Forrest Gump to become a Tucson treasure! Stacy was no stranger to the Arizona Serve family. She was a dedicated and rockstar supervisor to our many members who served with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. It’s no surprise that her transition to our team has produced grape results! Stacy manages our Public Health Corps members after having served a Public Health Corps member herself. This busy bee also just earned her Masters in Clinical Counseling from Prescott College! Her interests take many forms, as Stacy enjoys hiking, connecting with people she loves, spotting raptors and wildflowers, napping, listening to podcasts, exploring new places, body liberation and advocacy, existential conversations, binging a good TV series, and receiving photos of her nephew. Her most important role, however, is serving as the official Normal Gossip podcast ambassador to the Arizona Serve staff. You didn’t hear it from us!

YOUTH PROGRAMMING TEAM LEADER

Pablo returns to his old stomping grounds as our newest addition to the Arizona Serve team as the Youth Programming Team Leader - for a second term! After graduating from Salpointe Catholic High School here in Tucson, Pablo packed up his cleats and mitt to play baseball at New Mexico Military Institute for two years. Although not a fan of green chile, Pablo embraced the Land of Enchantment and transferred to New Mexico State University (Aggie Up!), obtaining degrees in Psychology and Spanish. His southwestern roots make him the perfect person to lead our MEC Peer Coach and Goodwill Opportunity Youth Skill Up programs. Pablo supports our youth members, provides job readiness development, and plans Day of Service events for the Tucson AmeriCorps team. Yoda once said, “Your path you must decide.” As a self-identified nerd that loves Star Wars, Pablo lives by this every day and hopes to instill this when he becomes a future school counselor. You can catch Pablo playing baseball on Sundays, reading DC and Marvel comics, listening to film podcasts, and watching movies on the weekends. You won’t catch him eating mayo, coffee, fancy cakes, or Korean BBQ. Oh well, more for our team!

STATE TEAM LEADER

Another Alabama angel joins the crew! Hailing from Birmingham, Lauren made the big move west with her husband and two dogs, Sipsey and Sasuke. Lauren bring 12 years of experience in hospitality management and event planning to the team. What got us hooked on her job experience was that she was a bass fishing tournament coordinator for Bassmaster! She lure-d us right in with her not-so bass-ic job experience. Last year, Lauren served as an AmeriCorps VISTA Communication Coordinator with the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona. Ready to tackle another term of service, Lauren joined the Arizona Serve team as a State Team Leader. When Lauren's not busy supporting members, you can find her enjoying the mom life with her daughter Aurora Grace, trying new restaurants, and attempting to cook new recipes. She says that for the record, she's a much better diner than chef. Lauren is such a catch and we are lucky to have her on the team!

Primarily, she will help this year’s team of Peer Coaches navigate their final year of high school and transition into their chosen path of college and career.
