We’re excited to introduce the newest Big Brothers Big Sisters staff members! Get to know each of them below. 

Emily Briones 

Volunteer Recruitment Manager

What made you want to work for BBBS? As a first-generation student, one of my first experiences with mentorship was being connected with a college-aged mentor who helped me through my college applications. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to mentor others myself, and all in all, I have great firsthand experience with how empowering mentorship can be!  

What has been the best part of BBBS thus far? Since I’m new to Omaha, I love that my role involves going to community events and connecting with others. It’s been a great way to learn about Omaha and its community! 

How do you like to spend your free time? I enjoy working out—running, Pilates, weightlifting, rowing—you name it! Of course, I also enjoy snuggling up with a good book, drawing, and knitting when it gets cold. 

Amber Mignosa   

Foster Care Enrollment Coordinator

What made you want to work for BBBS? I was excited to work in a more proactive role.  I met the team and instantly felt good about the work environment!     

What has been the best part of BBBS thus far? When I started, I was surprised by how many departments and different roles there were.  It’s been a nice change having so many resources.  It’s a huge organization, but the teams work well and support each other. BBBS is the best Big-Little organization that I’ve had the pleasure to work with!

How do you like to spend your free time?  Mom life leaves little free time.

Sharon Weaver 

Administrative Coordinator

What made you want to work for BBBS? I have always wanted to work for a company that did something to make a difference. I had heard great things about BBBS and when the opportunity arose to join the team, I went for it.

What has been the best part of BBBS thus far? The people have been amazing. I have never worked for an organization that was so welcoming.   

How do you like to spend your free time? I enjoy spending time with my family, I love to travel, and reading is my escape.
