Jenee GillJenee is pleased to bring her nonprofit bookkeeping skills to Rising Sun! She has an extensive background in arts administration that reaches all the way back to the late 20th century, a career fueled by the triple threat of being a UCLA Theatre Department geek, contented paper pusher, and an old-school proponent of Relentless Practicality. While she has focused on finance management for the past decade, as well as her own bookkeeping practice, The Numbers Witch, she has also served at the administrative helm of such venerable San Francisco institutions as the SF Mime Troupe, Children's Art Center, and the Roxie Theatre. If you happen to like 90s-era queer movies, check her out as Patricia in the Gregg Araki film, Totally F***ed Up. After 25+ years of enjoying pre-tech boom SF, where she managed to raise a fairly well-adjusted child, Jenee now lives with her husband Pete in Santa Cruz, CA, where she spends a lot of time riding the Giant Dipper, staring at the ocean and making snarky feminist collages.
