Ramona has been interested in joining Soroptimist for the last ten years, but was waiting to complete her MBA before joining. She graduated from California Lutheran University with a BS in Business Management and earned her MBA in May 2017, with a professional track of Non Profit Social Enterprise.
She was inducted on September 5th as a member of Soroptimist International of the Conejo.
(Pictured here with Marcy Shewmon, Membership Chair and President Debbie Cutler).
Ramona has a passion for helping others. She has volunteered for more than a decade to help in the fight against cancer. She has served as a chairperson for two years for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, four years as a participant for the Susan G Komen 60-mile walk, was a Girl Scout leader for 20 years and is currently the Vice President of Operations for the Michael P. Nosco Foundation, a non-profit she built to honor the memory of her longtime friend and co-worker Mike Nosco. The annual Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride was established as the foundation’s primary fundraiser. The very tough 80-mile bicycle ride will be held November 3 to raise funds which in turn will provide financial relief to families and/or individuals in the community who are confronting a life threatening illness.
Ramona has worked at Amgen for 26 years and is currently a Sr. Associate Business Analyst in IT Security. Ramona is also an avid hiker and enjoys many other outdoor sports! She has two daughters, Justine and Julian and recently became a proud grandmother to a new granddaughter, Athena, who just turned two-months old!
