About

Network Lead

NH ASMP WT, ADS Level 6, ASA Level 4, and LE Level 3

Hi, I’m Sunni! I’m proud to serve as the Network Lead for the New Hampshire Afterschool Network (NHAN). I’ve spent over 10 years in out-of-school time, youth development, and community work but what really drives me is seeing young people light up when they feel supported, safe, and inspired after school.

​

I wear many hats as NHAN’s only staff member, from coordinating statewide strategy to building partnerships, hosting trainings, and telling the story of why afterschool matters in New Hampshire. Before this role, I worked with ACROSS NH and Rochester Child Care Center, experiences that deepened my commitment to helping professionals in our field grow and thrive.

​

I believe in meeting people where they are, listening closely, and making connections that last. To me, this network isn’t just about programs—it’s about people: the youth, families, educators, and communities who deserve the very best.
