Becky Giovagnoni
Chris, Becky and their two kids attended Family Camp spontaneously when a spot came open in 2021, and then liked it so much they went back in 2022. After two life-changing summer experiences, Becky know if a position ever opened up, she wanted to work for Sonrise. In 2022, that happened! Becky works from her home in Colorado Springs as the Comm Lead, maintaining the website, drafting emails and any other communication needs. In her free time, Becky likes to cook, listen to podcasts, flip old furniture and write on her blog.
