Leadership

Sarina is passionate about connecting people with purpose and believes everyone deserves to be led well. With a decade of leadership experience in the non-profit sector, her passion to add value to leaders in the community grew through developing programming for youth, training, developing staff and volunteers, coordinating events, leading community engagement and fundraising teams. Currently, she is the Associate Development Director at the Boys & Girls Club or Story County in Ames.

Sarina has a bachelor’s degree in Human Services from Iowa State University and is deeply rooted in the Ames Metro Area. She volunteers at the Ames Alliance as an Ambassador, is a council member of AREA YP, a Co-Chair for Leadership Ames, and serves as a youth group leader at Grace E-Free Church in Huxley.

In the unseen hours of the day, Sarina’s desire for learning and developing herself and others through reading and listening to podcasts focused on business development, leadership, and interpersonal skills. She spends free time with family and friends, often traveling to racetracks across the Midwest supporting her husband’s drag racing hobby. She and her husband Lance live in Huxley with their daughter Taylor and mini-Ausie Callie.
