Megan TrotterHailing from San Jose, CA, Megan travelled around the globe from Bangkok to Nairobi, before eventually being drawn back to the Bay Area from which she was raised.  Megan has an extensive background in direct service, public health research, and international development.  She first learned of St. Anthony's from a friend and was instantly impressed by their multi-serivce approach and was later grateful to be offered the role of TTL Manager.  Through the partnership with San Francisco Network Ministries and Salena Bailey, Megan hopes to maintain the open and dynamic community that is the Tenderloin Technology Lab.  When she is not at the TTL, Megan enjoys seeing live music, being outside, and trying to challenge her cooking abilities.

Salena BaileyOriginally from the sunny South Bay, Salena was lured to San Francisco in 1995 by a brief obsession with the lives and works of the Beat Generation writers. Since 1995 she has lived in 6 unique and beautiful San Francisco neighborhoods and although she has never lived in the Tenderloin she is proud to have worked there for nearly 6 years. Before coming to work for San Francisco Network Ministries, Salena was a Peace Corps volunteer in Armenia where she worked to set up and run computer labs in remote mountain villages. She used to run the Computer Training Center on Eddy St. until she met Mr. Robillard and they got talking about improving their respective labs, 4 years later a wonderful partnership between San Francisco Network Ministries and St. Anthony Foundation was formed and the rest is history.
