Celebrating Sintia’s first year at HFSV 🌟 We celebrate how our team's unique backgrounds enhance our mission to increase Latino representation in STEM careers. Today, we honor Sintia Marquez Jimenez on her first work anniversary with #HFSV! Just weeks before last year's Ball, she joined our team and impressed us with her quick learning and creativity in fundraising. As a first-generation college graduate raised in San Jose, Sintia understands the challenges our community faces, from financial barriers to imposter syndrome. Her Economics and Math background, coupled with her personal experiences, equips her to support students and families through HFSV’s programs. Diversity and inclusion have fueled Sintia’s growth, inspiring her to advocate for #SiliconValleyLatinos. Thank you, Sintia, for all your hard work and dedication! 🎉

This week, our CEO Kyra Kazantzis attended the Stanford Social Innovation Review's Nonprofit Management Institute, together with a number of nonprofit leaders from around the world. Here's some of our Santa Clara County crew; what a great group of changemakers. One of the highlights was hearing a keynote from Cynthia Bissett Germanotta, the president of the Born This Way Foundation (aka Lady Gaga's mom!). Thanks to the The David and Lucile Packard Foundation for sponsoring attendance for so many of our local colleagues.
