Welcome to the Surge Family, Aryiel!

We are elated to welcome Aryiel Everett to our team as Digital Systems Manager! As a #KC23 Surge Alum, she's already part of our incredible community, and now we get to work alongside her every day!

Get to Know ARYIEL: A Champion of Progress

Aryiel brings an extraordinary blend of creativity and strategic expertise that perfectly aligns with our mission. With over 12 years in operations and project management, plus her unique background in Theatre for Social Change from Missouri State, she understands how to create meaningful connections and drive transformative initiatives. 

Her human-centered approach to IT project management is exactly what our educational leaders need – someone who makes technology accessible and empowering rather than overwhelming.

What truly sets Aryiel apart is her heart for community. Her 15 years mastering photography, social media, and design, combined with her deep commitment to diversity and inclusion work, show she gets what matters most: amplifying voices and creating spaces where everyone can thrive.

When she's not revolutionizing our digital systems, you'll find Aryiel embracing life's adventures – whether cheering on her preteen daughter, managing two dogs with very different energy levels, or diving into a good book outdoors. Her military family background and travels across the country bring a rich perspective that strengthens our collective impact.

Aryiel, we're thrilled you're here! Your passion for people-centered change and systems thinking is going to elevate everything we do together.

Our digital infrastructure just got a MAJOR upgrade - Surge is now running at peak performance!
