Tina began her career with the County in 2017 as Deputy Executive Officer in the Chief Executive Office. Her responsibilities included leading staff that supported Stanislaus County's Focus on Prevention, establishing the Stanislaus Housing Partners initiative, developing and implementing a delivery model for a $10M local Emergency Rental Assistance Program, and serving as the Community Services Agency (CSA) Department Operations Center Liaison for shelter activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As an integral part of the County’s senior leadership team, Tina will have an ongoing role working with community partners and system leaders for large-scale impact projects.
Tina recognizes the value of local community service and has volunteered to work with a variety of organizations over the past 30 years, including chambers of commerce, local civic organizations, youth sports, and booster organizations.
