At-Large Board Members
Tiffany Dieuveuil (Term ends 2027)
I’ve been practicing clinical social work for the last 11 years. Over those 11 years, my social work practice has been focused mainly on providing direct therapy services to children and families across multiple treatment settings. I am a school social worker for RSU 12- Sheepscot Valley Regional School Unit. I also serve as a Site Coordinator for the Boys and Girls Club of Kennebec Valley for an after-school program at Whitefield Elementary School. My interest and motivation for wanting to be a member of the Maine NASW Board comes from my passion to continue to share my work experiences as a social worker. Our profession as a whole needs more voice, and now more than ever is the time and opportunity to get involved.
Nikkita Drake
I am 33, a married mom of a 13-year-old, and have been in social work my whole life in some capacity. I would like to be on the board because I want to do more to advocate for necessary changes, especially systemic changes. This is a pivotal time in our country that needs more social worker voices to be heard. I would be a good candidate as I am deadline-oriented, kind, empathetic, and a little weird.
Lisa Glantz Prickett
I've spent the past 35 years in the Washington, DC area. My family was involved in politics. Prior to becoming a social worker in 1998, I was an environmental lobbyist. My husband and I moved to Maine in 2023 when he became the new CEO of the Gulf of Maine Research Institute. I'm extremely upset about the current political situation in the country and have a deep understanding of the political process. I'd like to use my skills in social work and background in politics to help the social work profession in my new home and hopefully keep Maine moving forward in a progressive fashion.

Divine Mugisha
Divine Mugisha, MSW, is a social worker, Homebuilders practitioner and supervisor, and transformational leader whose work centers on advancing equity for New Mainers and BIPOC communities across Maine. Originally from Burundi in East Africa, Divine immigrated to the United States as a young person and has called Maine home for nearly 16 years. Her lived experience as an immigrant navigating systems in a predominantly white state informs her commitment to building more equitable, culturally responsive mental health and social service systems.
Divine currently both supervises and practices within the Homebuilders intensive in-home family preservation program, where she works directly with families involved in child welfare and at risk of out-of-home placement while also supporting and mentoring practitioners in the field. Her work focuses on crisis stabilization, family strengthening, and helping families remain safely together. With over seven years of supervisory and leadership experience in behavioral health and community services, she is known for a trauma-informed, culturally grounded approach that centers dignity, access, and trust for immigrant and historically underserved communities.
She holds a Master of Social Work and is completing a Master of Public Policy and Management at the University of Southern Maine. Divine serves as a board member of the National Association of Social Workers–Maine Chapter and has contributed to municipal, policy, and community initiatives focused on workforce development, mental health access, and systems improvement across the state.
As a Black immigrant woman working as a mental health provider in a predominantly white state, Divine brings a deep sense of resilience shaped by building a life and career far from her country of origin. Her professional mission is rooted in advancing mental health equity, education equity, and healthcare equity for New Mainers and BIPOC communities in Maine. She is passionate about ensuring that systems reflect the communities they serve and that immigrant and BIPOC families experience care that is culturally responsive, accessible, and affirming.
Divine’s long-term vision is to help create a Maine where all communities, especially those who are often underrepresented, have equitable access to mental health support, educational opportunity, and pathways to leadership and well-being.
Kristen Smith
Hello! I am a passionate Social Worker who believes in the ethics and values of this profession. I see the difference Social Workers make every day, and am proud to be providing a service that is holistic, realistic to the challenges of every day life, and not just reactive to symptoms, but proactive to try to change harmful systems. As a Social Worker, I see the importance of us all working together to fight for more just systems and to advocate for changes to decrease the amount of power insurance companies have over our practices as well as challenges in payment, reimbursement and respect. Our services are important and we deserve to be respected and paid as well as other mental health professionals. I am happy to fight for us, and to connect with and advocate for our needs as a collective.

Abigail Zier (Term ends 2026)
As a previous student board member of NASW-ME, I’ve facilitated the Social Work Student Speaks (SWSS) series and helped plan the NASW Maine annual conference and Social Work Day at the State House. Through my experience serving rural communities surrounding Bangor, I’ve gained valuable insight into the unique challenges these areas face, particularly in accessing services and resources. I will graduate with my MSW in May 2025, bringing a diverse background that blends clinical practice with a strong commitment to policy and advocacy. I’m passionate about building connections across disciplines—bridging communities, institutions, and individuals with the resources they need to thrive.
