I was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and I bring 10 years of nonprofit experience to EarthLinks. I've done everything from grassroots fundraising and national market development to operational leadership across many states in the country before settling in Denver. In my free time, I enjoy reading, doing yoga, dancing, watching live music, and chasing the sunshine. I'm incredibly excited to join the EarthLinks team and continue the incredible work that was born here. I'm eager to learn, inspire, and lead EarthLinks and its team into continued growth and success.

Wisconsin born and raised, Jay has a Master's of Divinity from Notre Dame and has spent his entire working life employed by human service non-profit organizations; much of this time with several metro Denver agencies or churches working with lower income populations.

His passion is helping marginalized and isolated individuals re-discover their unique gifts and talents and regain their place in community.

With more than a decade of experience in service coordination and program administration, Kate’s work began in Michigan where she facilitated service delivery at a local mental-health provider, and held a Marketing Chair position at a grassroots organization that partnered with agencies across the Detroit Metro while finishing her Bachelor's of Science in Political Science at Eastern Michigan University.
In 2020, Kate moved to Denver after accepting a role in emergency sheltering at Denver’s COVID-19 quarantine shelter, before transitioning into housing and policy. Since uprooting her life, Kate has immersed herself in all things Coloradan – especially Red Rocks, hiking, sour beers, and working for sustainable change and affordability.

Except for a brief break in 2020 to work as a nurse's aid, Kellie's professional life has been devoted to showing the power of community to effect positive change.

Arya is a compassionate and dedicated Case Manager at Earthlinks. By and large, she is an advocate for those she serves. She is driven by a deep-seated commitment to ensuring every client has access to the necessary resources and deserves treatment.

Here, Arya gained essential insights into health and wellness, further enriching her expertise while managing cases for formerly homeless populations at a San Francisco non-profit during her studies.

Now at Earthlinks, Arya's prior experiences converge, allowing her to profoundly impact participants' lives through stability, wellness, and a reconnection to the community and the environment. Her current role capitalizes on her unique skills and passions, enabling them to see and measure the real-world effects of her dedication to those she serves.
