**Name**: Niki *Pinkerton-Tubbin*

**Place of birth**: Gresham*, OR* 

**How long on in Sandy**: I’ve *had a long-standing connection to Sandy. I've either lived or worked here my whole life. I grew up here and graduated from Sandy High School in 1992\. I currently live in East Multnomah County, but I’ve been part of the Sandy business community since 2015, and by volunteering.* 

**If you were not brought here as a child, what brought you to the area**: *N/A*

**Profession**: *I’m a controller, managing financial operations across multiple businesses. My role focuses on keeping everything structured, efficient, and running smoothly.* 

**Other professions**: *Outside of my primary role, I’m really drawn to building and creating, whether that’s business development, branding, or refining systems. I enjoy taking something and making it better.* 

**Favorites**: My *favorites are centered around my connection, balance, and a little creativity. My significant other, my kids, and my close circle of friends mean everything to me. I also adore my 2 Boston Terriers. I love being somewhere warm and sunny, a good book, live music, taking time for self-care, and tattoos to carry personal meaning.* 

**Movie/and or Musical**: I *really enjoy classic movies from my youth. The Great Outdoors is one of my favorites. There's something about that style of humor and nostalgia that I’ve always loved.* 

**Actress and Actor**: I *really like Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Garner. They both come across as genuine, grounded, and strong in an approachable way, which I really admire.* 

**TV show**: I *enjoy Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. I like discovering different places and the story behind them.* 

**Book**:   *Two of my favorite books are “Girl, Wash Your Face” and “Braving the Wilderness). I appreciate the focus on personal growth, accountability. and staying true to who you are.* 

**Type of music**:   *I gravitate toward Country music. I like the storytelling and how it connects to real everyday life.* 

**Food**: *I’m a mix of comfort and balance. Pizza, nachos, and steak bites – but I also appreciate a really good salad.*

**If offered a dream vacation, where would you go, and why**: *Anywhere warm and sunny and near water. Somewhere I can relax, recharge, and enjoy a slower pace of life.* 

**Best lesson learned as a child**: I *was always taught to respond with kindness, even when it’s not easy, and that’s something I’ve carried with me through adulthood.* 

**Defining moment in your life or your greatest accomplishment**: *My greatest accomplishment is my kids. Seeing them grow into kind, caring, and compassionate adults is something I’m incredibly proud of. It reflects the values that matter most to me.* 

**A memorable dinner**: For *me the most memorable dinners are the simple ones. Small gatherings with family or close friends, where we can really connect and catch up.* 

**A funny moment from your life that you can share**: *I move pretty fast and juggle a lot, so I’ve had more than a few moments where I walk into a room and forget why I’m there. It’s a good reminder that I need to slow down sometimes. My daughter told me just last weekend “Mom, your ADHD is running real strong today”*

**If you could invite anyone (past or present) to dinner, who would it be, and why** *: I would invite my dad. He passed away when I was younger, and he was a really important influence in my life. I think having the chance to share who I’ve become would mean a lot.*
