Shana Stovall

Shana Stovall brings over 20 years of experience as a Human Resources Professional, honed through her service in the United States Army, her work as a Department of Defense Civilian, and her role at the Community College of Denver. She retired proudly from the United States Army Reserve in December 2022 after 21 years of active and reserve service. Shana believes in the business of people, dedicating herself to keeping the “human” in Human Resources and passionately leading staff members to the resources they need to succeed. 

A proud multi-racial first-generation college student from Denver, Colorado, Shana is an alumna of Denver South High School. She earned a B.S. in Exercise Science from AMU and two Master’s degrees from Regis University: an M.S. in Project Leadership and Management and an M.S. in Human Resources Management. 

As the Executive Director of Human Resources at CCD, Shana has been instrumental in implementing the first CityHawk Employee Wellness Program, participating in the Colorado Inclusive Economy Leadership Cohort, developing professional development training programs for CCD CityHawk supervisors, and serving as a facilitator for the inaugural President’s Emerging Leadership Academy. 

Shana cherishes her role as a mother to her son Kenny, spending much of her time outside work adventuring in the mountains or cheering Kenny on in football and wrestling. With her partner, Phil Lemos, Shana enjoys traveling, spending time together with their family and kids, and engaging in community sports. They are also involved in giving back to the Denver community by coaching the Denver West High School wrestling and cheerleading teams. Shana and Phil’s mission is to build community and provide opportunities for the next generations to succeed and thrive. 

In her personal time, Shana is a competitive bodybuilder, avid science fiction and fantasy novel reader, and firmly believes that most issues can be solved over a cup of coffee.
