Nick is excited to join the Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank team! A Cincinnati native, he completed his BA at Loyola University Chicago, and served in Seattle with Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest, where he met his talented wife Sarah. Since then, he has gained experience managing nonprofit programs serving folks on the margins in the fields of mental health, developmental disabilities, and food access. He is ecstatic to be the dad of baby Emmett, which has made the need for diapers and other supplies in our community feel all the more urgent and personal. Nick enjoys spending time woodworking, gardening, brewing, being outdoors, traveling, and spending time at home with family and friends.
A Cincinnati native and Miami grad, Anne packed up her political science degree and began her career in Washington D.C. where she worked with Congress, government agencies, and related NGOs to secure funding and create sound policy, resulting in better access and care for those living with mental health and substance use disorders. Returning home to Cincinnati when her oldest was born, Anne began consulting with local nonprofits in the areas of policy creation; organizational development; and marketing and messaging. Her work has always been driven by a desire to promote social justice and level the playing field, with a particular focus on women and other underrepresented populations. Not a surprise, Anne was a big fan of Sweet Cheeks, well before joining the team. Outside of work, Anne is mom to two boys, loves to travel, and will occasionally break out in dance during a yoga class.
A museum nerd and NKY native, Rachel comes to Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank after working almost 10 years at the Cincinnati Art Museum, where she managed tours and wellness programming, led yoga in the galleries and taught workshops on art and meditation. She graduated from Northern Kentucky University with a Master’s in Public History and went on to teach museum studies courses at Wilmington College, focusing her classes on museums as agents of social change. Recently, she curated an exhibit about food & economic injustice at the Dayton International Peace Museum in Dayton, OH and is passionate about making a difference in communities through social justice and non-profit work. In 2018, she was awarded the “Conflict Resolution Educator of the Year” by the Ohio State University for her work promoting peace initiatives as an educator. When she’s not working, Rachel enjoys going to the movies, practicing yoga, and traveling the globe – she has been to over 15 countries on 6 continents. She is so excited to join the Sweet Cheeks team!
Tyná joins the team as former retail warrior from Dayton, OH. She leveraged her Apparel Merchandising and Product Development degree from Bowling Green State University to secure jobs in design, public relations, and showroom sales in Los Angeles, CA. After a crazy New York Fashion Week, she became disenchanted with the fashion industry and moved back to Ohio. Once settled in Cincinnati, she went full force into management across the retail and automotive industries. She also volunteered at the Virginia Avenue Project in Los Angeles, a program that helps foster creativity and increase academic performance for school-aged students through performing arts. Personal passions in bridging gaps between resources and communities in need are what led Tyná to Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank! When she isn’t in the office, Tyná is a multi-hyphenate creative, an adventurous outdoors enthusiast, and a self-proclaimed book nerd!
