Robyn Russell claims to be blessed to be our Parish Administrator, but we are the ones blessed to have her! Robyn was born and raised in Arizona. She grew up in Mesa, AZ and has lived in Tucson for the past 30 years. She is grateful for her two grown children who also reside in Tucson.

The bulk of her career background was in hospitality at a timeshare resort in Rancho Vistoso, followed by several years in administration at a local escrow company. In her free time she loves swimming, going to the movies, and hiking Sabino Canyon with her family.

She has been welcomed with open arms and happy faces by a few of you and looks forward to building new relationships.
