Shadyn Russo

     Hello, Southwest! My name is Shadyn Russo and I have the privilege of serving as your 2021-2022 District Bulletin Editor. This year, I will be a Junior at Skyline High School in Arizona making this my fifth year as a part of the Kiwanis family. Last year, I had the honor of serving as the Superstition Lieutenant Governor. With that position, I learned many life skills that I will carry with me today. It was from that position that I decided I wanted to continue my journey with Key Club and become District Bulletin Editor. With my role as Bulletin Editor, my goals include making another way of communication by utilizing the tools and features of Discord, making my Key to the Southwest Publications informational and inclusive, and make our District Instagram more interactive with everyone in the district. Outside of Key Club,  I am in Varsity Soccer, Softball, and Badminton. I am so excited to serve and see what this year it brings. As always, Stay Spicy, Southwest!

Maya Calugaru

Howdy Southwest! My name is Maya Calugaru, and I am so excited to have the privilege to serve you all as the 2021-2022 Southwest District Secretary-Treasurer. I am currently a Sophomore at Paradise Honors High School. Aside from Key Club, I am in the Student Council, Marching and Concert Band, and I am a Varsity Swimmer! This past year, I served as the Mogollon Rim Lieutenant Governor, and I fell in love with the work I got to do for everyone in my division, and I knew that I wanted to further that by being your District Secretary-Treasurer. This year, I plan to improve and refine our methods of handling and storing our district information and figure out a way to give financial support to our clubs! I look forward to getting to know you and your clubs a lot better, so if you need anything at all, please feel free to reach out to me. Stay spicy Southwest!

Cody Cragun

     Hey there, Southwest! My name is Cody Cragun and I'm excited to say that I'll be serving as the 2021-2022 DCON Chair. This year, I'll be a senior at Rio Rancho High School, but I originally moved here from Daegu, South Korea in 7th grade where I went to school on a military base. Aside from Key Club, I'm also part of our JROTC's Unarmed Drill Team and I'm president of our NHS. Other than that, I write, read pretentious Russian literature, watch bad TV shows, listen to Elliott Smith, and play the piano. I've played for almost 10 years now, so I love to compose and compete whenever I can. As DCON Chair, my goal is to get as many people as possible to attend and make sure that this year's events will be informative, interactive, and, most of all, fun for everyone! I'm looking forward to meeting and working with so many new people during this term. I can't wait to see what this year has to offer, and I know that it'll be a ton of fun, so, as always, stay spicy Southwest!

     Hello Southwest! My name is Steven Rourick, and I am honored to be serving as your 2021-2022 Black Canyon Lieutenant Governor!

I am excited to work on new service projects and to uphold the very integrity of Key Club! I plan to work on communicating with my clubs and advancing towards a more united Key Club! I can not wait to work with the other district members and with the other clubs! For the 2021-2022 school year, I will be a Junior at Shadow Mountain High School!

    Hey, Southwest District! My name is Serena Helewicz and it is going to be so amazing to be the Lieutenant Governor for the Copper/ Caverns division this 2021-2022 school year! So a little bit about me: I am attending Rio Rancho High School as a Senior this year. Go Rams! I've been a part of Key Club for four years now but I am also involved in other clubs such as NHS, of which I am the Vice President at my school, and the Synchronized Figure Skating team at my local rink, where I even help coach the younger teams. Figure skating is my passion but academics is my home, I love challenging myself academically through AP, dual enrollment, and tutoring other students. If you can't find me on the ice, exercising, or socializing, I am definitely hitting the books! Ultimately this year, I want this division to get to know each other a little more, especially since we are the combination of two previous divisions, making this the division with the most schools for this year. I want all of us to communicate better and do more group events and activities. I would also like some of our inactive schools to try to become active again. I know all of us are struggling in the midst of a pandemic but it is my belief that our passion for Key Club can overcome these troubles! I cannot wait to get to know each and every one of you, please feel free to contact me for anything you need to help your club prosper! Now stay spicy, Southwest, and let us have an amazing year together!

Nathan Wooley

  Hey, Southwest! My name is Nathan Wooley, and I am super excited to be your 2021-2022 Catalina Division Lieutenant governor! I am a proud Saber cat at Sabino High School and will be a senior next year. This year will be my 4th year in Key Club and probably my 8th year involved in volunteering! When I am not in Key Club, I love running, biking, and I am a part of Sabino 's cross country in soccer teams. I am also the president of NHS, and I love math, so I participate American mathematics competition at my school each year. My goal for this upcoming year is to host quite a few division wide events so we can unite all of our schools in one or more service projects! This year, I would also like to get at least one more school chartered in our division and start a division wide log which tracks all of our service hours so at the end of the year, we can see how many hours of service we have accomplished as a division. I am looking forward to having a ton of fun this year and cannot wait to see all that our small, but strong division can accomplish! Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Stay Spicy, Southwest!

 Jack Miller

     Hello, Southwest District Key Clubbers! My name is Jack Miller and I am so excited to serve you as your McDowell Mountain Lieutenant Governor! I have been in Key Club for the past three years and have served my club as both its President and Secretary, and the District as the Mohave Lieutenant Governor. As your Lieutenant Governor, I hope to help your club in growing their membership, bring about friendships between members across our division, encourage partnership between clubs, and of course, maximize the good our division does in our community. This amazing organization truly has so much to offer, and I want to help you have the best experience possible, so please reach out if there is any way that I can make this happen! When I am not fulfilling my Key Club duties or studying, you can find me caring for my many plants, discussing classical literature, jamming out to Stevie Nicks, or hanging out with my friends (many of which I actually made through Key Club)! Again, I am so thrilled to work with you all, and please reach out whenever! Stay spicy, Southwest!

I am looking forward to working with all of you in order to have a fun and impactful year of serving our communities!

Danny Robaina

     Hello, Southwest! My name is Danny Robaina and I am your Lookout Mountain Lieutenant Governor. I go to Brophy College Preparatory and will be a junior this school year. During my term, my Key Club goals are to increase communication between the district and the clubs as well as to make sure every club within my division is well aware of their opportunities to serve at the district level. Outside of Key Club, my personal goals are to make Varsity Lacrosse for my school and to learn how to play one song on the guitar. A little more about myself is that I have never eaten at McDonalds! I can not wait for what this year will bring for the Southwest District. Stay Spicy, Southwest!

Hanna Hartzell

     Hello, again spicy Southwest District! I, Ronnie Mora, am proud to be serving as the Papago Division’s Lt. G for the 2021–2022 term. This year, I will be a Junior at Vista Grande high school where I have been an active member of Key Club for two years. With my second term as the Papago Division Lt.G, I plan to strengthen the bond and communication between clubs in my division with the hopes of facilitating successful division-wide events and service projects. Igniting interest in service, and willingness to participate is something I plan to push for throughout my term. Outside of Key Club,  you can either find me studying or gaming. I am looking forward to this upcoming service year and what we will accomplish as a board. Remember… stay spicy!
