Work Anniversary Spotlight: Davida Garcia
How many years have your worked for Circulate and what is your title?
I have worked as the Office Administrator for Circulate since 2019.
Describe what your day to day tasks look like?
For the past six (6) years, I have supported the Circulate team with a variety of tasks in each of our three (3) Service Sectors: Development, Planning, and Policy/Advocacy.
My day can range from receiving and tracking corporate sponsorships, assisting with our quarterly events/Annual Momentum Awards to obtaining and tracking insurance certificates for all of the wonderful fee-for service planning projects we do, to preparing and submitting quarterly Lobbyist Reports. I also prepare our semi weekly Circulator newsletter, perform website updates and love welcoming new hires, processing their onboarding paperwork to ensure a smooth first day, just to name a few!
During this time, what’s your most memorable face palm moment? Or what is your biggest achievement to date? Choose one.
I’d say my biggest and/or most favorite achievements to date were 1) overseeing both of our corporate relocations and 2) working with our webmaster to update our Circulate website. Both tasks were large and took a lot of planning. Both tasks enhanced Circulate’s image and branding inturn enhancing our work environment, in person and online. We love our new office at 701 B Street and love the new website that we can update easily…it’s always the little things😊
What are you excited for about the future?
Since day one and still today, I continue to be most excited and proud to support such a small yet mighty progressive team along with our tremendoulsy experienced Board of Directors that have a wealth of knowledge within their respective positions to make San Diego a more mobile city to live and work in; board meetings are fun brainstorm sessions that I get to take part in. I’m inspired and grateful every day.
