San Diego Union Tribune Recognizes local Bayside as Frontline Hero

Anyone who has walked through Bayside’s doors in the last 44 years has probably met Director of Social Services, Rose Ceballos. When asked about the impact that she has had both on the Linda Vista community and on the community center, Executive Director, Corey Pahanish commented, “Rose has both played an active role in addressing significant struggles and celebrated the beautiful diversity of various communities. I have had the distinct honor of working alongside Rose and remain in awe of the way she balances what comes with our work. We love her so much!”

Associate Director of Communications, Adam Osorio, who has been with Bayside since 2006 adds, “Rose has helped me learn and grow in every single role that I’ve had the privilege of playing at Bayside. She’s really nurtured all of us on the staff and keeps our work grounded and focused on the people that we serve.”

Associate Director of Development, Kim Heinle comments, “The level of respect a community icon like Rose commands in our neighborhood is unparalleled. You simply can’t quantify or articulate the profound impact she has had on literally generations of families in the community. I am humbled to work alongside someone who leads a life of service with the dignity, grace, and dedication that Rose embodies.”

It was, therefore, no surprise when the Union-Tribune chose to recognize Rose as a Frontline Hero. When asked about Bayside’s work Rose commented, “Our clients are more than case files; they matter to us.” Read all of Rose’s comments here.
