After graduating from University of Colorado, Stevie began her career with Aspen Hope Center as an intern. She started by answering suicidal phone calls but quickly began filling in to help with finances, client intakes, fundraiser websites, technology support and much more. She went on to change the Hope Center at its electronic core by building out the program for nonprofit development, organizing thousands of donors and creating a system that has lasted long after her moving on to other aspects of the agency. Stevie has overseen expansions to different counties and has served as a key point person for the agency, always working around the clock to ensure the Hope Center's technology is up and running for the 24/7 staff.

Stevie's biggest achievement was found when she adapted a platform to the ever-changing needs of crisis by making information searchable and configurable, and providing the community with statistics that demonstrate the importance of this work in the mountain valleys. To help achieve these challenging tasks, Stevie attended the University of Denver to study software engineering, never leaving the Hope Center.

Having a personal interest in suicide after her stepdad passed away, Stevie has devoted nearly a decade to trying to make life a little easier for the crisis clinicians who work so hard to support others in our community. As the Hope Center continues to grow, Stevie's biggest dream is to further customize programs to fill the gaps that desperately need to be filled.

Shannon has worked in nonprofit administration for the past 17 years, most recently with Hope Pregnancy Care Center in St George, Utah. Graduating from the University of Arizona in 1997, with an Interdisciplinary Studies degree in Spanish, Art History, and Chemistry, Shannon went on to certify as a high school chemistry teacher. With a temporary move to New York in 2001, she put teaching on hold and became program coordinator for Everybody Wins, a nonprofit literacy program in New York City schools. It was there that nonprofit work captured her heart and she’s been involved in supporting the efforts of grassroots organizations ever since. Shannon appreciates the meaningful and impactful work of Aspen Hope Center and counts it a privilege to be part of the team. When not working, you’ll find Shannon outside spending time with her husband and two kids exploring the mountains and rivers around our beautiful valley.

Kiley's love for nonprofit work started in college where she studied nonprofit management and Spanish at Indiana University in Bloomington. After college, she returned home to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to work for Ronald McDonald House Charities Eastern Wisconsin (RMHC). In 2020, she decided to fulfill her lifelong dream of living near the mountains and moved to Denver. There, she worked in volunteer management roles for Goodwill of Colorado and RMHC Denver. After a few years in Denver, Kiley moved to Rifle for her partner's job placement and she spent a year pursuing other work interests including retail, dog grooming and starting a pet care business. Kiley is excited to get back into the nonprofit field with Aspen Hope Center. When she is not working, you can find her outside: running, hiking, skiing or walking her German Shepherd, Theo.

Sonja Hendrickson-Linman has worked as a youth and family advocate in the Roaring Fork Valley for over thirty years. She is committed to the power and healing found in our personal stories, and uses her teaching, counseling and leadership skills to integrate mental health and wellness into our lives, our families, our schools, our workforce and our community. Most importantly, Sonja truly loves humanity, and has spent her life in public service. Her web of experience includes serving on numerous task forces, non-profit boards, and in volunteer positions as well as serving in political office while working in day to day response with our most vulnerable youth and families.

Sonja has a Bachelors in Education, an MA in Curriculum and Assessment, an Educational Leadership Principal license, and is a certified Colorado Addictions Specialist. Her life work continues to contribute to the evolution of our public education systems as the incubators of our youth, our cultures, and our futures, and she is committed to the training, education and care that affects each of us every day. Sonja recently joined us at the HOPE Center after working for years as an Intervention and Colorado Addiction Specialist in Glenwood Springs, CO. She is as comfortable in Legislative Chambers as on the streets, and would be honored to show up at Dinner Parties, Staff Trainings, or in Integrative Circles as we meet each other where we are…to help each other toward where we would like to be.

In her quiet time, she hangs out by the creek with her dogs and family, tending to 7th Elder, A Silent Place to Serve the Servants, and where she continues to research and write.

A California native, Natasha landed in the Roaring Fork Valley in the summer of 1997. Shortly after moving to the valley, she started working for Aspen Skiing Company and spent more than 13 years gaining experience in mountain operations and marketing. In 2011, Natasha joined the dynamic team at Backbone Media where she worked on both sides of the business – paid media and public relations – over the course of nearly eight years. At the end of 2018, she made an intentional shift to the nonprofit world in hopes of doing even more meaningful work in our community. That led her to the role of development director at Family Resource Center of the Roaring Fork Schools where, for almost three years, she had the pleasure of being part of a passionate team that increases stability and self-sufficiency for children and families. After serving Aspen Hope Center as the operations director for more than two years, Natasha is honored to continue providing backend support for this outstanding team of professionals who deliver critical services in our valley. She feels blessed to call Carbondale home and to have access to the beautiful playground in which we live; and she enjoys sharing her life with her husband, four-legged baby, family and friends.
