Dea Hurston, Business woman & Arts Advocate
Ilene Hubbs, Former President & CEO, Make-A-Wish Foundation
Ilene has over 20 years experience marketing and fundraising for some of the major non-profits in San Diego, most currently as the former President & CEO of the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Under her leadership the agency grew from $250,000 to its success today as a multimillion dollar charity and one of the most recognized and beloved causes in town. Prior to that Ilene worked as Director of Development for the Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. She also served as Cultural Arts Director for the San Diego J.C.C. Ilene holds a B.A. in Communications from Temple University in Philadelphia where she grew up attending every play she could afford from tryouts in Philadelphia to on and off Broadway productions in New York City. Her first experience being mesmerized watching the original cast of The Diary of Anne Frank inspired the love of theater that brings her to work for the success of Moolelo.
Rowena Kelley, Freelance Writer
A San Diego resident since elementary school, Rowena has witnessed the growth of the city's arts community. And, now, with participation in Mo`olelo, she is excited to help influence it. The editor of Decor & Style Magazine, Rowena has written feature articles for publications such as The San Diego Union-Tribune, San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles Magazine, Performances, and Where San Diego Magazine. She is passionate about storytelling and the power of groups such as Mo`olelo to educate and empower audiences. She has a bachelor of arts in communications from the University of California, San Diego, and more than nine years experience in marketing and communications for companies ranging from publishing to high tech.
Jodi Koskella, Founder, Charmone Shoes
Jodi brings to Mo`olelo 9 years of experience in marketing communications and business planning. While growing up in Minneapolis, Jodis parents dragged her to theatre events and arts museums until she developed her own love of the arts. To compensate for her own severely limited artistic abilities, which she also thanks her parents for (sorry Mom!), she joined the San Diego Performing Arts Leagues Business for Arts Program, which matched her skills and interests with Mo`olelo. She is extremely passionate about Mo`olelos mission and has a strong desire to bring new patrons to the theatre and increase San Diegos arts scene. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Although Darlynne enjoyed field producing, she wanted to return to reporting so she accepted an offer at KDCI News, Adelphia Communications in Carlsbad, as their News Director and main anchor. In addition to her Adelphia gig, she also freelanced as a reporter for KTNV in Las Vegas. She also does voiceover work and has landed several acting roles in local TV shows and movies, including a brief scene with Catherine Zeta Jones and Dennis Quaid in "Traffic."
