Championing Community and Empowerment
With Breeanya’s extensive list of titles and work to be done each week, she finds healthy ways to keep a positive work-life balance, which she said isn’t just about juggling responsibilities; it’s about thriving in both your professional and personal life. By striking the right balance, you’ll unlock greater fulfillment, boost productivity, and create a life that’s truly worth living.
“Work-life balance can undoubtedly be challenging, but it’s important,” she said. “My favorite ways to recharge are to hike, spend quality time with friends and loved ones, walk the dog, and travel. Traveling offers a nice escape from the daily grind, and I love learning about other cultures.”
In the face of adversity, Breeanya’s resilience shines through. She launched the “Empowering Women – Got a Minute? Podcast” amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic with the idea of telling local women’s stories differently. She uplifts listeners through candid conversations and inspiring stories, reminding them of their strength and resilience in the face of life’s obstacles.“We all hold the tools to empower each other just by listening and lifting each other,” she said. “Talking with someone and telling your story is empowering and impactful.”

Elevating the Campus Dining Experience
n a move to eliminate a third-party contract food service provider, Yavapai College (YC) tapped local Aimee Novak. This experienced entrepreneur will lead revamped in-house services, bringing a fresh design, flow, and menu to the YC campus.
Aimee, YC’s Director of Culinary Experience, is no stranger to the Prescott food and business scene. She previously owned Soldi Restaurant (where she was the chef) and Apropos Hair Salon. Before joining the YC team, she worked for the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Program and also served as Food Safety Coordinator for Yavapai County.
She said, “It was natural for me to shift from a salon specializing in hair color to the food industry because if you break down the elements of both, the elements are basically science and artistry—I just changed my medium.”
A Lifeline
Since 2001, the Yavapai CASA for Kids Foundation has worked to meet the unmet needs and enrich the lives of children in foster care and those who have aged out of the system in Yavapai County. With more than 300 foster youth, whether they are wards of the state or the Yavapai Tribe, the foundation works to fill critical gaps and offer the kind of support state assistance and other programs often cannot provide.
The foundation operates entirely through donor contributions and is the only Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization under the Arizona Tax Credit in Yavapai County. With these funds, the foundation ensures no child in foster care is left without the essentials they need or the opportunities they deserve.
