Meet Tiffany!

Tiffany began her career at Goodwill on October 20, 2014, as a part-time Clerk Processor. She soon transitioned to People of Progress, where she managed the front end, food bank, clothing, and other community services. In 2015, Tiffany became a keyholder for both People of Progress and the Redding Goodwill store. During this period, she played a crucial role in helping Shasta County recover from the Carr, Camp, and Delta fires, as well as the COVID pandemic. This experience reinforced for Tiffany the importance of people feeling safe, supported, and valued.
Tiffany advanced from key holder to Assistant Store Manager, Retail Store Manager in Red Bluff, and now serves as General Store Manager in Redding. She has completed the Mentorship program and acknowledges Goodwill as the only place she has felt genuinely supported by leaders and coworkers, who have encouraged her personal and professional growth. Her goal is to eventually join the Regional teams.

Tiffany uses her life experiences to inspire others, demonstrating that it is possible to overcome barriers and strive to become the best version of oneself. She focuses on ensuring her employees understand that she is there to support their growth and help them achieve their goals, much like Goodwill did for her in 2014 during challenging times.

Erica Vunder, Assistant Workforce Development Program Manager at the Redding store, says:
“When you see Tiffany, you can’t help but smile. It’s incredible to watch her interact with employees and customers. She has a way of making people happy just by being around her. Her personality and laugh are contagious. I have seen firsthand her dedication to her employees as she agonizes over how she can best support them to be successful. Tiffany strives to be the best version of herself so that she can best help everyone around her. She is supportive of her employees and other program participants, making them feel important and doing whatever she can to help them succeed, not only at Goodwill but in life in general.”
