What is your role at SCF?
As the Program Officer here at SCF, I support with grant proposals, monitoring grantee progress, initiating new projects as well as programs to advance the mission of SCF, while also exploring new areas for our involvement.

What do you like most about working at the foundation?
I like that I am part of an organization that leads with heart. Everyone on the team is passionate about the work and wants to see the community thrive. The work is impactful and meaningful, which I appreciate.

What is your favorite thing to do in Stanislaus County?
Although I reside in San Joaquin County, one of my favorite things to do in Stanislaus County is to explore different cafes and food. I love the muffins at Mocha Magic and the taco trucks at Modesto Grub Hubs.

Cats or dogs?
Dogs! I have two dogs – Henry, a Yorkshire Terrier, & Hercules, a Golden Retriever.

Guilty Pleasure?
Not proud of it, but Bachelor in Paradise, it’s so bad, but so good. I enjoy the drama!  

Dream Vacation?
My dream vacation would be going to Iceland to watch the Northern Lights.

If I was a superhero, my superpower would be…?
Teleportation. The idea of traveling anywhere without flying or even going back in time to witness something amazing that happened, would be awesome!
