About Mona Schwartz

MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING AT PIE

My favorite part about working at PIE is the people. My colleagues are bright, energetic, curious, supportive, and striving to make the world a better place.

A PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT I’M PROUD OF

Prior to joining PIE, I did policy work in local government, managed political campaigns, and did direct service nonprofit work. I am proud of managing the successful campaign to elect Carmen Rubio to the Portland City Council. She is Portland’s first Latinx City Commissioner and an incredible community leader.

HOW I LIVE A FULL LIFE

I love trail running, skiing, backpacking, biking, travelling, cooking, speaking other languages, listening to live music, and spending time with friends.

MY CURRENT GOAL

I used to play the cello and dream of dusting off my cello and getting back into it!
