\"Min inspiration til at arbejde p\u00e5 VCCF Nonprofit Center er en p\u00e5sk\u00f8nnelse af social mangfoldighed og interaktion mellem nonprofitorganisationer, der engagerer sig kollektivt p\u00e5 \u00e9t sted.\"<\/p>\n

Jeg har v\u00e6ret i regnskabsbranchen i n\u00e6sten 15 \u00e5r. Jeg har v\u00e6ret heldig nok til at f\u00e5 stor erfaring, da jeg har arbejdet med alt fra produktion til reklame. Dette bliver min f\u00f8rste erfaring med en non-profit organisation, og jeg kunne ikke v\u00e6re mere begejstret!!! Jeg forelskede mig i Ventura County ved f\u00f8rste blik, da jeg flyttede hertil i 2007. Jeg kan ikke komme i tanke om en organisation, jeg ville v\u00e6re mere stolt af at v\u00e6re en del af.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBio\t<\/h4>\n\t

Graduating in 2024 from California State University, Northridge with a bachelor’s degree in graphic and communication design, Finley West discovered the fulfillment of working with nonprofits through coursework that allowed him to create designs for the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles. Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, Finley moved to Wisconsin for his sophomore and junior years of high school where he discovered his passion for graphic design from frequenting online forums, as well as through the printing and papermaking industry that is so dominant there. It was during high school when he decided that he would pursue graphic design and communications as a career, but he always yearned for a way he could help people and merge his passion and purpose together.<\/p>\n

Frequenting Ventura County often when he was younger, Finley made the move to Newbury Park after graduation and has been smitten with the county ever since. Upon discovering the position with VCCF, the decision was an easy one, and now Finley is overjoyed at the potential to give back to his community while simultaneously utilizing his passion for graphic and communication design. Enjoying the rich cultural history of Ventura, the coastal air of Port Hueneme, the wonderful people of Oxnard and Camarillo, and everything else the county has to offer, Ventura County is a place that he is proud to call home and happy to serve.<\/p>\n

Finley enjoys reading novels, exploring indie gaming and art, and going on evening walks to enjoy the fresh air of Newbury Park. He also enjoys California’s history and natural features, taking trips to the Sierras or the Redwoods whenever he can and exploring the geographical features of the state.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVis mere\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMedarbejderportal\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n
