Diana Blain
Service Coordination Unit Manager x
Diana Blain Service Coordinator Supervisor Diana began working at ScenicView in 2004, one month prior to receiving her Bachelor’s Degree from Brigham Young University in the Social Sciences. At that time she had plans to continue on to pursue a Master’s Degree in Social Work, but, recognizing the unique program ScenicView offered, decided she wanted to continue to be part of carrying its mission forward. She looks back on that decision with no regrets and with continued gratitude for the many opportunities she’s had to support students in working toward their individual potential. Diana became a licensed Social Service Worker in 2006. She has held a variety of positions within the organization and appreciates the learning each new opportunity brought with it. Being the Service Coordinator Supervisor is especially exciting as she gets to oversee student plans and progress through programming and assist Service Coordinators in providing the best support possible for students to make the changes and growth necessary to reach their best outcome. Outside of work, Diana enjoys home decorating and home improvement and always has a project in mind. She attributes her determined work ethic and persistence to her rural Northern Wisconsin upbringing and enjoys taking trips “home” to connect with her roots. Diana likes to find simple ways for her family to make the most of their time together, including neighborhood bike rides, picnics, crafting, baking, and backyard barbeques and fire pits. |

Service Coordinator x
Lauren SchlesingerService Coordinator Lauren studied at Utah Valley University and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work. During her studies, she worked at a residential treatment center for at-risk youth, interned at a police department as a victim advocate, volunteered with ScenicView Academy, and piloted a student mentor program. Following her graduation, Lauren moved to Conway, Arkansas while her husband finished his college degree. During this time Lauren worked as a case manager for Arcare, a grant-funded initiative that helps low-income individuals and families who suffer from autoimmune diseases access tools and programs which enable them to afford the treatments and care they require. This experience gave Lauren valuable insight into case management and showed her the value of working with populations that she had previously not had experience with. Lauren’s experiences at her internships, service opportunities, and professional work have shown her the value of individuals and the desperate need that society has for compassionate social workers. Through these Lauren has gained needed insight and training to enable her to serve individuals and families who come from diverse backgrounds and have varied needs. In her free time, Lauren enjoys writing, hiking with her husband, roller skating (especially on Disco Night), and experimenting with new recipes. |
