Our Staff
Tiffany Hall
President/CEOHello! My name is Tiffany Hall. I am the youngest of 4 children of John and Jane Hall and was born and raised on the east side of Anchorage. I graduated from Bartlett High School, went to Pomona College outside of Los Angeles, then lived in San Francisco and Austin playing rugby and working a variety of jobs from fundraising to restaurant managing to marketing/public relations. I went to graduate school in Oregon and moved home in 2012 to work at the Providence Alaska Foundation.
I came to Recover Alaska as the Executive Director in 2016; the job felt like a perfect alignment of my experience and education combined with a deep passion. As a person who struggled with co-occurring alcohol use and anxiety disorders, my life is only possible through the hope and joy of recovery (since 2009!), and I’m so grateful to get to devote my energy to reducing the harms of alcohol and creating a safer, healthier environment for all of us.
I love writing poems, playing outside, dressing in costumes, singing loudly in my car, and dancing every chance I get. I grew up watching my dad run Mount Marathon in Seward, inspiring me to run it 15 times (dressed like a butterfly the most recent years!). I watched my mom do the Gold Nugget Triathlon and I've done it a few times myself, and even did an iron-woman triathlon for my brother's birthday.
Nowadays I spend as much time as I can with my two young children, Margaret and Frederick - which is basically every second I'm not at work since I'm a solo mom! I love my kiddos beyond measure; together we grow veggies in our garden, read books out loud, play tickle tag, make gratitude lists, and we're looking forward to summer hikes and winter sleds.

Sara Platt
Director of OperationsHello there! I'm Sara Platt and I'm thrilled to connect with you through this newsletter. With a zest for life and a love for exploration, I've spent the last 7 years calling Alaska home. When I'm not hiking the stunning trails or enjoying quality time with my friends and family, you'll often find me in the kitchen, whipping up new culinary creations with my husband by my side.
Recently appointed as the Director of Operations, after being the Access to Care Program Manager for 3 years with Recover Alaska, I'm passionate about making a difference in the lives of those affected by alcohol misuse throughout our great state. My personal journey with my family's struggles has fueled my dedication to creating supportive environments for recovery, striving to lift burdens, reduce stigma, and promote healing. I’m super excited about moving into this new role, getting to provide additional support to my fellow awesome staff members and work alongside all the many driven folks who we collaborate with here at Recover Alaska.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I'm a fun-loving and quirky individual who believes in embracing every moment with enthusiasm and empathy. Whether it's exploring new places, savoring home-cooked meals, or simply cherishing moments with loved ones, I find joy in the simple pleasures of life.
I’m grateful for all of the connections I have made through Recover Alaska these last few years…and look forward to the next chapter in journeying together in the mission we share!!!

Blaze Bell
Communications ManagerHello everyone! I'm so grateful to be a part of the Recover Alaska team. In 2022, they chose me as one of their "Sober Heroes". It was such a fulfilling experience, and I remember thinking, "Wow, it would be so fun to work there!" Now, I am over 2 years into being a part of the team and I just stepped into a new role as the Communications Manager. I'm so excited to bring more of my creativity, passion, and heart to this incredibly important organization.
The best part of my life is my family! I have two epic kids that make me laugh and keep me on my toes every day. When I'm not having living room dance parties with them, you can catch me Singing and DJ'ing all over Alaska.
I've spent the past decade dedicating much of my time and love to helping people and places in Alaska that care for victims of violent crime. I served as Board President for, Victims for Justice for 7 years. I was Vice-Chair for the Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. I held the role of Victim Consultant for the Alaska Criminal Justice Commission. And I've been partnering with Standing Together Against Rape for over twenty years. I have a deep passion for helping fellow survivors to heal from trauma.
Thank you to Recover Alaska for playing a role in my healing journey and for working so hard to reduce the harms of alcohol in Alaska!

Tesia Bobrycki
Prevention & Education Program ManagerI’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new Prevention & Education Manager for Recover Alaska and coordinator of the Alliance. My name is Tesia (teh-sha), and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to join such an impactful organization and network. A bit about me: I live on a 30ft sailboat in beautiful Cordova, Alaska, and when I’m not navigating the Sound, I’m often found underwater as a professional diver. I adore being in the woods and on the water and tend to spend my free time putting up good food and feeding people.
My real passion lies in supporting, serving, and being guided by community members and grassroots initiatives. With a decade of experience in non-profit program management centering Indigenous rights, I’ve dedicated my career to understanding and responding to community needs and I excel at jumping between state-wide initiatives and individual advocacy. Most recently, I have directed programs for ocean access and regenerative economic development in the way of seaweed farming throughout the Prince William Sound and state. I’m humbled to work with all of you to advance our shared mission to reduce the harms of alcohol and make a meaningful difference across Alaska. Thank you for welcoming me into this role—I’m eager to dive into deep listening with our Alliance members and provide a level of service, transparency and accountability that strengthens our collective power and increases our individual, organizational, and state-wide impact.

Kara Stewart
Office & Administrative CoordinatorHi all, my name is Kara Stewart and I'm so excited to be here! I am brand new to the Recover Alaska team, bringing a plethora of experience in organization and administrative support. I'm especially excited to help my community thrive and heal from the harms that alcohol misuse brings. This organization is doing good, hard work in our home to give people a safe space to exist, and I'm so grateful that I get to be a part of giving others the security and support that I have received.
When I'm not running around with Pepper the pup and my loving partner Christopher, I can be found baking up a storm or around the table for game nights. Having just over 50 games and counting, there's never a shortage of ways to engage, or seats at the table. I have the good fortune of having a large group of friends to do local craft and renaissance fairs with, usually in full pirate garb! I hope to bring that excitement and fun into this new chapter, and I can't wait to see what Recover Alaska and I can do together 😊
