What do you like most about your job?
I was attracted to working at Sierra 2 because it reminded me of the San Francisco YMCA, where I worked for eight years as the Youth & Family Director. I enjoy working with the community and with non-profits, and this seemed like a perfect fit. There’s a true sense of community here between the center and the surrounding neighborhoods.
I like that we’re given the opportunity to touch people’s lives in very personal ways. Just as many renters have, I myself have hosted a family reunion, baby and bridal showers, farewell parties and even my father’s Celebration of Life here. Through the years I’ve made many lasting friendships among SCNA members, our clientele, tenants and my co-workers. I’ve seen a lot of changes to the Center over the years that I’m proud to be a part of.
What is your favorite Sierra 2/ SCNA event?
I always enjoy Home Tour because it was my Mom’s favorite one to attend together. The Wine Tasting event is always a fun day…great food, beverages and lots of happy people!
