Kasondra Armstrong
Program Assistant II

Sondra Armstrong has over 13 years of experience in finance and administration at both for-profit and non-profit organizations. She is currently pursuing a degree in Business Administration at American River College. She began at Del Oro as a Program Assistant in 2016 and was drawn by the mission to support caregivers. Her parents had recently moved back to the Philippines and her mother was managing her father’s care as his dementia advanced. At one point, Sondra’s parents were struggling to survive on their own. So, the leadership team at Del Oro, including Executive Director Michelle Nevins, former Director of Programs and Clinical Services Anne Spaller, and Director of Finance and Administration Amber Henning, organized a food drive on behalf of Sondra’s parents. She reports that, “Everyone came together, and we were able to ship a huge box of food to the Philippines. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude…That’s how much compassion the people in the agency have for us. Del Oro and the staff will always have a special place in my heart.” The feeling is certainly mutual; in her tenure, Sondra has been an invaluable member of the team. In addition to her administrative responsibilities, she also serves on the Social Media and “Fun” Committees. As one co-worker stated, she is the “glue that holds us together.” Outside of work, she is a mother to three children and enjoys doing crafts, knitting, crocheting, sewing, and gardening.
