Works Above and Beyond

Sierra Estrada, Financial Aid and Scholarships
Sierra is an incredibly valuable member of the Financial Aid team. Despite her workload and all she juggles, she is quick to respond to questions and she goes out of her way to provide support. She truly embodies accountability, integrity and dedication. Sierra has made such a positive impact on my experience as a Fresno State student and staff member, and I feel so grateful that she works here. Thank you, Sierra!

Chee Thor, Admissions and Recruitment
Chee is an exceptional addition to the team! Her dedication, quick learning abilities and willingness to support her colleagues are truly admirable. It's impressive that she has already become a confident specialist despite having only nine months of experience. Her reliability and willingness to help, especially under pressure with a large caseload, are invaluable qualities in any team. It's clear that Chee's efforts are making a significant impact on the team's success. Big thanks to Chee for her hard work and commitment to excellence!

Glen Hunt and Matt Moffat, Technology Services
Glen and Matt take great care of the College of Health and Human Services and all their IT issues. They are quick to answer questions and look into ideas we may have. The College of Health and Human Services is lucky to have them for IT. Thank you for all you do.

Provides Excellent Customer Service

Chinda Dor, Traffic Operations
When I unexpectedly had car issues on a very hot Thursday afternoon, Officer Dor assisted me with jumpstarting the car and providing guidance on next steps. It was nearing 100 degrees, but Officer Dor was very patient and kind, and took the time to help me, which I greatly appreciate. Thank you, Officer Dor!

Marie Kay, Admissions and Recruitment
Your dedication, positive attitude and commitment to going above and beyond for our staff and students have not gone unnoticed. Additionally, your willingness to support the entire department, whether by sharing your knowledge, assisting colleagues or stepping in during busy times, has significantly contributed to our overall success. Your teamwork and initiative are truly appreciated, and they play a crucial role in fostering a positive and productive work environment.

Saved My Bacon

Toni Amezcua, Fresno State South Valley Campus (Visalia)
Toni goes above and beyond her job duties. She graciously assists me with new hires, questions about the FSSVC Cohort, scheduling and much more. We have a new hire for the campus, and she has assisted me with it every step of the way as I am new to this process. All of this is done with much kindness and patience. Thank you for all that you do, Toni!
