STAR of the Month

November STAR of the Month: Rebecca Sanchez
Photo of Rebecca SanchezAfter working for four and a half years in Human Resources, Rebecca Sanchez moved to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs to work as a preaward coordinator.

Sanchez is the first contact for faculty members submitting grant proposals. She matches proposals with the appropriate federal and University guidelines and routes them to the specialists/analysts who work with the faculty members on applying for grants.

It's a role she is comfortable in -- one of her duties in Human Resources (HR) was to work the front desk.

"I like helping people," she said. "I'm a great person to calm people down. I have a soft voice and I use it to my advantage."

Lindsay McGlenon worked with Rebecca at the HR front desk. "Rebecca trained me in HR when I started in November," McGlenon said. "She worked extremely hard at balancing the training of her new position and finishing training me before she moved on. ... she showed grace, commitment and patience throughout this whole process."

Sanchez has been at SFSU since 2000. Previously she worked in the cashier's office at City College of San Francisco. She said that it's particularly gratifying when students she helped at City College recognize her here on campus. She earned a bachelor of arts in psychology from SFSU and hopes to also work on a master of arts degree in counseling and eventually become a college counselor.

Sanchez lives in San Francisco with her husband Daniel and step-children Daniel Jr. and Danelly.
