SARAH MARTEL-LEE
ADMINISTRATION
As a mom of 3 littles, I am a professional multitasker. I spend time in strategic planning, program management, and the ever-present administrative work. I also love words – writing them, editing them, using them to tell stories and communicate ideas.
SHELLY CHRISTIAN
CHILDRENS DIRECTOR
Shelly is an Arizona native who can’t imagine living anywhere else. She married her high school sweetheart and has two boys. They love playing games and watching movies. Camping is a favorite pastime and traveling to explore new places. Shelly has her Bachelors in Psychology from Grand Canyon University.
