Photo of Faith EllingsonHi, my name is Faith Ellingson and I am a Trust Administrator with Achieva Family Trust. I have a Masters of Social Work, Social Policy, and Social Administration from the University of Chicago.

I have worked with middle school and high school students, seniors, and LGBTQIA+ populations prior to my role at Achieva. I am passionate about working with those who are marginalized by society and finding ways to create a better, more inclusive world for everyone.

Finding an organziation like Achieva, who works with people with disabilities, was a perfect chance to work for a company who shares my values.

Outside of work, my interests are reading, spending time with my cats, watching pro-wrestling, and listening to different kinds of music.
photo of Carmen RijoHi, I'm Carmen Rijo and I joined Achieva Family Trust as a Trust Assistant in October of 2024. I have over 12 years of experience in financial analysis, cash reconciliation, and financial operations. I enjoy finding ways to improve financial processes and make data-driven decisions. 

I'm also fluent in Spanish, which has helped me collaborate with diverse teams. 

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places, trying different cuisines, and finding the best coffee shop or happy hour. I also love spending time outdoors - whether it's hiking a scenic trail or relaxing at the beach - all while making memories with family and friends.
