Annie Munk: Director of Academics, Professional Development & Marketing

Annie Munk is passionate about giving students the practical tools they need to thrive after high school. With six years of experience in Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) and four years as Co-Director of The Arena, she specializes in supporting students who are at-risk or navigating IEPs.

Annie’s approach is backed by deep expertise in communication and conflict resolution. She holds a Master’s in Leadership and Management and specialized certification in Conflict Management from the University of Utah, which she uses to train educators across the state in crisis intervention.

Since 2015, Annie and her wife, Nicole, have been a dedicated team in the world of credit recovery, eventually co-founding The Arena to provide a specialized space for student success. When she isn't helping students navigate the "Crisis Cycle," Annie finds balance in her garden, traveling, and attending live concerts.

Nadia Freebairn: Online Student Succes Manager

Nadia’s history with The Arena is a true full-circle success story. Originally a student at East Hollywood High, Nadia was so impacted by the program that she refused to leave upon graduation—repeatedly advocating for a chance to join the team. Her persistence paid off, and for the last four years, she has served as a cornerstone of our staff.

Nadia brings a unique "student-first" lens to everything she does, helping us bridge the gap between instruction and connection. As she navigates her professional career, she is currently working toward her goal of becoming a certified teacher. When she isn’t helping the next generation of students succeed, Nadia finds balance through creative writing, arts and crafts, and video gaming.
