We are wrapping up our Friday Faces series today, with just a couple more new staff members to introduce you to. Below them are links to last year’s Lead Team, Board of Directors, and a few more people who make SLOCA the special place that it is. Click on those links to see their answers from last year:
Katie Morales
Administrative Assistant to the Executive Director
Q: What is your degree in?
A: My degree is in Anthropology and I graduated from BIOLA University in 2007. I also went through BIOLA's Great Books program – the Torrey Honors Institute, so I LOVE Classical Education

A: The first thing that I do when I wake up in the morning is blow my nose because I have rediscovered allergies here on the Central Coast!
Q: What is your favorite local restaurant?
A: My favorite local restaurant is Splash Cafe in Pismo because I love those little divey restaurants that have such good food that you have to wait in line for hours just to get your order in – it makes me feel like I'm back in Portland.
Q: What was your favorite book when you were a child?
A: As a child (and to this day) I loved all things Dr. Seuss. I used to fill my arms with every single Dr. Seuss book available on the Chowchilla Library shelves and the Librarian began to limit me to a certain number because none of the other kids in town would have the opportunity to read Dr. Seuss if I took them all!
Q: What is your favorite piece of literature?
A: My current favorite piece of literature is C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength). I read them for the first time this summer and am anxious for the opportunity to read them again – this time I'll read them out loud at home!
