Some CHC folks


Folks with whom I work/ spend 8.5 hours of my day / 42.5 hours per week. All are amazing amazing people, but there are a few with which I interact the most. Let's see...some tidbits--

Gwen: my direct supervisor is in the orange. A wonderful "stoic" woman, very encouraging to me and my personal development.

Lark: Exec Director is to the upper left of me. So wise. If you are familiar with strength tests I admire her strength of "command."

Mia: top row, second from the right. She arranged a karaoke night at a local bar in my honor after I told her I wanted to meet more locals. I admire her street smarts and her practical opinions on things.

Annie and Mark: bottom row, farthest two on the right. I eat lunch with them almost every day and sometimes go on lunch time walks with Mark. Hopefully soon we will restart an organizational wellness committee (I'm really excited about that). Both are "Policy Analysts" and I pick their brains about public policy school.

Jon: top row, fourth from the right. Also a lunch buddy. I don't know his actual title, but I refer to him as "the data guy"--which, you can imagine, he really appreciates.

Heili: Top row, farthest right. Heili also is a policy analyst in my policy area. She is doing amazing work with Mia around the food resource environment in South LA--trying to get more nutritous food options in the area.
