Karen Carlos

Job Titles:
  • Member of the Hilltop Management Team
  • Resident Life / Service Coordinator
Karen has been working at Hilltop for a very, very long time. She's rather like Hilltop's own Rip Van Winkle, and her name even uses some of the same letters. Coincidence? Well…not if you believe there is no such thing as coincidence! She spends her days mulling over the varied needs of the residents who seek her, and scattering resource information like little crumbs of bread for everyone else. Before working at Hilltop, she went to Seattle University where she so dazzled the professors, they awarded her a diploma.

Katie Yankula - CFO

Job Titles:
  • Director of Finance and Operations
  • Member of the Hilltop Management Team
Hello everyone! My name is Katie Yankula, and I am happy to join the staff at Hilltop House as Director of Finance and Operations. I have worked in office management and accounting for nature conservation and healthcare-related non-profits for fifteen years. I'm originally from the Midwest, having grown up in suburban Chicago and graduated from University of Wisconsin- Madison. Seattle has been home since 1990. Living on the West Coast with mountains and the ocean nearby suits me well.

Stephanie Fung

Job Titles:
  • Leasing and Operation Specialist
I was born in Hong Kong and I moved to Seattle with my family back in 2003. I can speak multiple languages, e.g.: Cantonese, Mandarin and of course, English. I have worked in the property management industry for a few years and I am very familiar with leasing. Outside of work, I am a huge Disney fan. I love to go to Disneyland and Disney World with my friends during my vacation time. I am also a Disney pins collector.

Thornton Bowman

Job Titles:
  • Executive Director
  • Member of the Hilltop Management Team
Thornton was born and grew up in the South. He got over most of that in time, but still loves a good bowl of grits. He fancies himself a musician and a writer and is pleased some people indulge him. Prior to working at Hilltop he worked supporting Community Health Centers in Region X. Before that he worked in disability rights. Before that he was young and foolish.

Victor Quiroz

Job Titles:
  • Maintenance Supervisor
  • Member of the Hilltop Management Team
Victor fixes everything. There is nothing he cannot fix. He's like MacGyver. Only, Victor is from Oaxaca, Mexico (which is really cool in a warm sort of way) and many people will not remember MacGyver. But, except for all the ways he's not like MacGyver, he is just like him. And he's fast! He's like Mercury, only without the wings on his feet because that makes it difficult to lace your sneakers. And Victor never wears a tunic no matter how many times staff and residents beg. Before working at Hilltop, Victor was a Salsa dancer.
