AyZar Outreach Team
Nika Navid
Director of Strategic Planning & Operations
I’m the architect of AyZar Outreach’s strategy and operations, making sure vision and execution fit seamlessly from long-term goals to daily details.
I believe lasting change happens when systems don’t just function, but flourish where clarity and structure give space for innovation to take root.
My background in strategic planning keeps the course sharp, and my refusal to settle for one-size-fits-all solutions keeps it dynamic. Think less “rigid blueprint” and more “living framework” that adapts as we grow.
Irisdian Mayares
Program Coordinator
As a student at Samueli Academy (a charter school for foster and community youth) I saw firsthand how non-profits can transform lives
That experience shaped my commitment to community-centered work. Today, as a Program Coordinator, I’m both a guide and a bridge-builder—helping participants navigate their journeys and connect with the resources they need to succeed.
For me, it’s about honoring each person’s potential and ensuring no one has to walk the road alone. Every success story fuels the next, and I’m grateful to be part of that ripple effect.
Nadia Serrano
Marketing & Media
I’m a proud graduate of Samueli Academy, where I developed the empathy, creativity, and drive that guide my work today. At AyZar Outreach, I help break barriers for individuals who haven’t always been given a fair chance, empowering them to pursue their dream selves, achieve professional goals, and gain the freedom to reach their personal goals.
As part of the Marketing & Media Team, I celebrate the achievements of the people we serve, sharing their stories, highlighting their strengths, and showing the world how extraordinary they are. My goal is to represent AyZar Outreach as the beacon of hope I believe it to be.
