THOMAS DOEBLER
SENIOR NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT SERVICES- GREAT HEARTS ACADEMIES
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Tom came to the Valley of the Sun by way of the Rio Grande Valley, Texas where he was initiated into the world of education through Teach for America. After three years as a special education teacher in south Texas, he was lured to Phoenix by a then-small network of charter schools called Great Hearts Academies. Over the course of his 17 years in Phoenix, Tom’s work and passion for education and leadership has connected him with the Valley’s autism community in multiple ways, and he is enthusiastic about continuing that connection through board service to St. Dominic Savio Academy. In the 17 years since he came to Phoenix, Tom has also become a husband, and a father of two children. When he is not traveling with his family, exploring wilderness wherever he is, or working on his house, Tom serves as the Senior National Director of Exceptional Student Services for Great Hearts Academies.
ANGELIKA DOEBLER
ATTORNEY- DAVIS MILES MCGUIRE GARDNER
In her current role as a real estate litigation attorney at Davis Miles, Angelika navigates the intricacies of property law, contractual disputes, and regulatory matters. Her background in education provides her with a holistic approach to legal problem-solving, considering both the legal intricacies and human elements in each case.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Angelika finds solace in the Arizona desert, where she enjoys hiking with her family. When not exploring the outdoors, she channels her creativity into cooking—be sure to ask her about her barbeque bean recipe. Additionally, she indulges her strategic side through tabletop games, with Star Realms currently holding the top spot as her favorite.
