There are three new hunger fighters in CAFB’s Oakland office. Take a moment to meet them:
Tracy Fraas joins CAFB as its Senior Director of Finance & Administration.
Hometown: I’m from Buffalo, NY and am a huge Buffalo Bills fan
Healthy snack: Smoked almonds
Favorite color: Purple
The most embarrassing song in your iTunes/Spotify/Pandora/etc. library: mmmm, something by Barry Manilow
Courtney Scullin-Taylor is another new face in the finance department. She is the new CAFB accounting assistant.
Hometown: I’ve moved around my whole life, but I usually answer “Seattle” to this question.
Favorite healthy snack: Raw Food Cream Pie
Favorite color: I’m a Gemini, so my brain has a hard time with this one. No favorites here.
The most embarrassing song in your iTunes/Spotify/Pandora/etc. library: Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews Band. Used to be a fan in high school. It turns out it’s one of my girlfriend’s favorite songs, so we have fun together with this guilty pleasure.
Emma Gagliardi joins CAFB as the new administrative assistant for programs and Farm to Family.
Hometown: Brick, NJ
Favorite healthy snack: Fresh tomatoes from my garden
Favorite color: Yellow
The most embarrassing song in your iTunes/Spotify/Pandora/etc. library: Is the Hamilton soundtrack inherently embarrassing? The amount I listen to it definitely is. I’ll go with that.
