I am currently the Executive Director of Sunrise Assisted Living of Petaluma, I am responsible for the day to day operations in the facility. Sunrise also has communities in Sonoma and Santa Rosa and each of us employ about 100+ team members. Most of our positions have a low barrier to entry such as caregivers, housekeepers, cooks, dishwashers, and receptionists. We have been experiencing a decline in applicants for the past 3+ years but more so recently. I have had been assisting our company with ideas on how to improve workforce retention and I have been tasked to help solve the workforce issues that we are facing for Sunrise in Sonoma County. We at Sunrise see housing, transportation, child care as obstacles to help overcome in Sonoma County. I attended your conference at the Doubletree Hotel and was inspired to join the board to offer innovative ideas to help solve issues. I am an operator through and through so I thrive on problem solving in the most innovative ways. 11. Resume

Briefly describe your interest in the Workforce Investment Board and tell us a little about yourself. What

strengths will you bring to our board?

My interest in serving on the Workforce Investment Board for Sonoma County lies in several areas. As the leading director of the career center at Sonoma State University it is both within my duties and my passion to support the future workforce of our county and local region. I have been a career coach and mentor supporting individuals with professional development for almost 15 years and have focused my career on the administration of programs and services that support adult learning and development to increase their education, skills, and knowledge to enhance their professional lives. I have held a focus on community development since I was a college student myself, engaging in almost two decades of service to my community in a variety of capacities. Since earning my Masters degree in organizational management I have greatly increased my capacity for supporting organizational development and change. I am an activator in my professional life, spearheading large, complex projects and initiating social and organizational change. I am an entrepreneur, using my entrepreneurial skills to enhance collaborative cross-functional projects that engage multiple groups or organizations. I have a track record of strategic thinking, visioning, planning, and execution. Over the past ten years serving at institutions of higher education, each of my positions has afforded me the opportunity to design and implement new services and programs for student success and community relations. I am a problem-solving innovator, and

of 29

this shows in my most recent work at SSU. My team and I received the annual Team Impact Award given to only one department each year based on exceptional performance and innovative ways of addressing problems. Finally, I am an advocate for diversity, inclusion, and equity having supported institutional learning and growth many times over. I have led and fostered environments for faculty training on cultural competency, student leadership opportunities for diversity education, and working with community partners to understand and address bias. I will continue to commit to this work in my future endeavors and bring a feminist and transformative lens to any work that I do. My current focus is on understanding the bias and challenges that women are up against in positions of leadership and how they overcome them and persevere to lead institutions of higher education. 11.
