DeAnne is thrilled to be joining the team at After-School All-Stars. She began her career in education working for an after-school enrichment organization in Los Angeles, where she taught performing arts to elementary students. That first experience sparked a lasting passion for creating learning spaces that are both fun and meaningful. Over the years, DeAnne has grown into leadership roles, coordinating literacy and arts programs with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation and partnering with schools across Los Angeles to support students and strengthen communities. After more than a decade serving youth in the nonprofit sector, most recently teaching middle school students in Arizona, she is excited to continue this work as Program Manager with After-School All-Stars, expanding her impact to help even more students thrive.

Outside of work, DeAnne loves exploring the outdoors - especially paddle boarding and hiking new trails. She also volunteers with Save Red Rock, supporting efforts to protect public lands and outdoor spaces. DeAnne brings her creativity, energy, and experience to her role at After-School All-Stars, where she helps keep children safe and supports them in achieving success both in school and in life.
