About Marlena Cardoza

Marlena was born and raised in the East Bay. After studying Journalism and Media Studies at San Diego State University and living and working by the beach, she moved back to the Bay and spent another few years working for a nonprofit organization in animal welfare. From this unique experience, she was able to hone a variety of skills in program and people management, communication, and attention to detail. This is also where she adopted her beloved husky mix, Mischa. 
 
She is happy to bring these skills to Red Oak as an Office Manager/Marketing Coordinator. 
 
In her free time you can find Marlena thrift shopping, DIY-ing home decor, trying out new restaurants with friends, or hiking with her dog.
