Lisa Swarbrick

Financial Coordinator & Office Administrator

lisas@grapevinenh.org

Hi, I’m Lisa Swarbrick and I am excited to be the Financial Coordinator/Office Manager of the Grapevine. Since starting here, I have felt that everything I have done in my life were steps leading me here.

I worked for one company for many years where I grew professionally and wore many hats. Throughout those years, I held positions of Office Manager, Accounting Manager, and Human Resource Director. 

During my career, I also raised a family and did my best to make time for volunteer efforts. My most rewarding volunteer work was as a tutor at our local Adult Learning center. I assisted students in working to obtain their GED, as well as, those working to obtain citizenship. Later, I joined a committee that was seeking volunteers to help maintain the local hiking trails. It wasn’t long after, thinking that I was just going to help out a little bit here and there, that I then became the Chairperson for 7 years for the Friends of North Andover Trails Committee.

As a new resident to the area, I am so happy to have found a place where I can apply my experience and skills into an organization and a community that puts family and well-being as their first priority.

Whenever not working, I can be found landscaping, gardening, creating memories with my grandchildren, or planning & hosting social events; especially themed tea parties.

Avenue A Club Coordinator

arlenes@grapevinenh.org

Hi I am Arlene. In 2015 I began my connection with The Grapevine by volunteering at Avenue A Club. I organize and run the middle school after school club at our Avenue A Teen Center, which provides a fun and safe place for students to socialize and make new friends.

I have a M.S. in Education.  I previously worked for 22 years providing programs focused on resiliency skills needed to reduce drug misuse, bullying and violence in children in grades K-8.

I love being a part of The Grapevine; it provides awesome services for the people in our community.  I am so proud to be a part of this organization and to meet and work with local youth and their families.

I have two grown children of my own and I love being a parent and a teacher!  In my spare time I enjoy botany, watercolor painting, volunteering at Antrim Elementary School and spending time with family.

Jacqueline Roland

Avenue A Teen + Community Center Coordinator 

jacqueliner@grapevinenh.org

Hi, I’m Jacqueline and I joined the Grapevine in 2016.  I plan programs for our Avenue A Teen Center, which serves over 300 youth from the ConVal region. I also coordinate over 60 volunteers and interns who make these programs possible. 

Previously, I organized children’s programs for the Olivia Rodham Memorial Library, worked for the Monadnock Pumpkin Festival, blogged for Stay Work Play, and Co-Chaired the New Hampshire Legislative Youth Advisory Council. I received a BA in Public Relations from Southern New Hampshire University. 

I love spending time with our teens—hearing their stories and marveling at their talent in music, writing, sports, and anything they put their minds to! I specialize in cheering awkwardly during music performances, basketball games, or any other situation where awkward cheering feels even more awkward.

When I’m not at the Teen Center, I can be found drinking tea, grocery shopping, or watering my menagerie of houseplants!

Rosemary Nugent

Kinship Navigator

rosemaryn@grapevinenh.org

Hi, my name is Rosemary Nugent and I first connected to the Grapevine as a grandparent.  In 2015, a new group, “Grandparents Raising Grandchildren “ was formed and I became an avid member of the group and like they say, the rest is history.

As Kinship Navigator, it is my hope to support and connect other grandparents and kinship caregivers to resources  that will help them in their new roles. My position as state rep for Generations United and my work on  the NH Senate Commission, Studying Grandfamilies in NH, will certainly work to my advantage.

I live in Antrim with my husband, grandson, 3 cats and one crazy dog and enjoy camping with my family and substitute teaching at Antrim Elementary School.

Mackenzie Nichols

Community Resource Coordinator and Home Visitor

mackenzien@grapevinenh.org

I joined The Grapevine team in February of 2019.  I work to support the community by connecting individuals to resources such as jobs, housing, financial fuel and food assistance.  As a home visitor I work to help parents provide safe and supportive home environments for their children by providing prenatal education, lactation support, child development education, parent support and education. 

I have spent the last 10 years working with new moms and babies in The Birthing Suite at Monadnock Community Hospital and Monadnock OBGYN.  I am a trained Childbirth Educator, Lactation Advisor and Postpartum Doula and LNA.

I am so grateful to be a part of this wonderful team at The Grapevine.  I like to explain it like this, “I loved my past work experiences but something was missing, that something was the ability to connect people to resources and hold their hand through the process to not just hope they do well but to help them do well!”

I was born and raised in Peterborough, NH where I currently live with my husband and two children ages four and two.  I love this region and refuse to live anywhere else!
