In August, CCF welcomed a new member to our team. Liliana Zuniga Diaz joined us as our new Administrative Coordinator. A San Jose native, Liliana is a recent graduate who attended College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts.
Where did you grow up and what was your favorite part about growing up there?
I grew up in San Jose, CA. My favorite part about growing up here is having all my family local and being able to go to Half Moon Bay and enjoy a cookout.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy waiting for a show or movie with my family with all of our favorite snacks. My favorite movie snack would have to be the classic popcorn with butter.
What’s your favorite Christmas movie?
The Home Alone series
What’s the most interesting thing about you that we wouldn’t learn from your resume?
I was able to travel to 13 countries in South and North American during my time studying abroad in Argentina.
Why is your faith important to you?
My faith is important to me because it is what has allowed me to be where I am today. My faith has played an essential role in guiding me through my everyday experiences along with my education.
What is your favorite part about working at the Foundation (so far!)? What attracted you to this position/organization?
Having a Cristo Rey student in our office is one of my favorite parts so far. I was once a Crito Rey student and loved my experience in the work force. Passing along what I have learned is a full circle moment for me.
What is something you still have left on your bucket list?
I am just starting to check off things in my bucket list but one of them would be traveling to Barcelona and watching a soccer game.
