Connectors

Sarina is a vibrant leader on a mission to connect people with purpose, believing that everyone deserves to be led well. With over a decade of leadership experience in the non-profit sector, her passion to add value to leaders in the community grew through her work in youth programming, staff and volunteer development, event coordination, and leading community engagement and fundraising teams. Currently, she is the Associate Development Director at the Boys & Girls Club or Story County in Ames.

A proud graduate of Iowa State University, Sarina is deeply embedded in the Ames Area. Her volunteer roles include serving as an Ambassador at the Ames Alliance, a council member of AREA YP, Co-Chair for Leadership Ames, and a youth group leader at Grace E-Free Church in Huxley. Sarina’s passion for learning guides her to spend quiet moments immersed in books and podcasts focused on business development, leadership, and interpersonal skills.

Outside of her professional and volunteer commitments, Sarina treasures time with her family and friends. When the weather allows, one of her favorite things to do is drive the golf cart around town with her family – visiting friends, going to church, getting groceries, or grabbing dinner at a local restaurant. Sarina values staying active and enjoys traveling across the Midwest to support her husband’s drag racing hobby. She and her husband Lance live in Huxley with their daughter Taylor and mini-Ausie Callie.
