Board Member Spotlight

She Builds SF Chapter Steering Committee Chair and
Development Chair

Please introduce yourself! What is your background?

I am President and co-owner of Moroso Construction in San Francisco. We build custom residences and estates around the Bay Area. In my role I develop relationships with clients, architects and designers, I run projects, and I lend my deep experience in estimating, project management and team leadership to the process. I joined Moroso in 2008 and became an owner in 2016 with my partner Ron Bond. It has been exciting and rewarding to help to grow and shape Moroso’s approach, culture, values and trajectory over the years. A constant in my work is to champion women in the industry, and to chip away at the gendered assumptions that are still unfortunately too prevalent.

 

What made you decide to become a board member for RTSF?

The Board opening came up in 2019 three years after I had helped to co-found our She Builds SF chapter. It was a natural step toward deeper involvement with the organization.
I was first introduced to RTSF in 2016 through a colleague who knew that the ED at the time wanted to create a She Builds chapter and thought I’d be a great match because of my broad network in the industry and my advocacy for women in construction. I had co-founded a networking group for industry women in 2014 that had grown to a list of over 300, and could bring that to benefit the founding of She Builds SF.

 

What is your position and responsibilities?

I hold two Chair positions on the Board: She Builds SF Chapter Steering Committee Chair and Development Chair. In my She Builds SF Chair position I’m responsible for leading the Steering Committee and for overseeing the funding and maintenance of She Builds SF as part of RTSF. I work with the ED at a strategic level to determine how She Builds SF serves RTSF’s mission in the big picture, and what RTSF wants and needs from the program. In the early years of She Builds SF we were very active, doing three projects in first year and visiting places where we could reach young women to talk about the mission and what we do, like the CityBuild trade program.

In my Development Chair position I fundraise for RTSF and have established a field of donors related to the trades who are excited about our mission, including commercial and residential contractors, subcontractors, architects, etc. I also am involved in planning donor-supported events – from smaller, accessible fundraisers like Trivia Night to the upcoming 35th anniversary.

 

What do you like about being a board member for RTSF?
It’s important to me to try to improve the lives of people who are struggling in our city. I’ve lived in San Francisco for 30 years, I have a business in the city, my kids grew up here. I really value contributing on a grassroots level and fostering community through neighbors helping neighbors. She Builds SF is an extension of my work to connect and support women in construction, and being an RTSF Board member is a nice complement to what I do on daily basis.

 

What is your favorite memory with RTSF?
My favorite RTSF memory is our visit to the Life Learning Academy, which is a public charter high school on Treasure Island. We met with the Principal and head of the carpentry division to talk about RTSF and She Builds SF, and had a lunch with the kids that they prepared. I really enjoyed learning about the school and how they provide kids with vocational skills like catering and carpentry to further their opportunities. From that meeting one young man came to an RTSF build day and a young woman came to SheBuilds. I never would have known about LLA if it weren’t for RTSF, and it remains a great example of everything working at its best to connect our mission with a new community partner.
