Kristina Ciari
BOARD MEMBER EMERITUS

She moved to Seattle to attend UW, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Business marketing in 2006. Kristina passion for writing and adventure landed her a dream job as the Membership & Communications Director at The Mountaineers, a regional, volunteer-led nonprofit connecting people to the power of wild places.

Kristina credits the outdoor community with continually inspiring her to get outside of her comfort zone, and she's still writing about all things outdoors – from why you need a down skirt to how to be a beginner – on her blog.

Rachelle Stanko
BOARD MEMBER
I am extremely passionate about one thing and that is volunteering!” Being a part of an organization, building community, and helping raise funds to support a cause brings Rachelle a sense of belonging unlike anything else. She learned this at an early age, growing up in a home where volunteering was a vital part of family life. She continues to foster her love of volunteering through her current involvement as a SheJumps Board member. Previously, she spent 26 years volunteering for the Junior League in both St Paul, MN and Tacoma, WA.
Rachelle is a mom to Annelene and wife to Mike. Raised in MN, another family tradition was Sunday outdoor time regardless of the temperature or weather. Cross country skiing in -10 degrees? Yep, sign her up! She brought this love of the outdoors to her husband and daughter - together, they spend as much time on the trails (snow covered preferably) and on/in the water, embracing all the goodness mother nature serves up. Spending time outside is key to maintaining both her physical and mental health and balances out time spent at a desk. In her professional career, she’s mastered the art of project/program management helping drive change and grow program engagement at both REI & Nordstrom.
