Executive Director

Dr. Nidia Delgadillo

I am Dr. Nidia Delgadillo and I am passionate about helping people feel supported, heard, and empowered through compassion, connection, and understanding. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with individuals from many different backgrounds, supporting them through personal challenges, growth, and healing.

Much of my work has centered around community wellness and personal development, where I facilitated groups, workshops, and one-on-one support focused con communication, emotional wellbeing, resilience, and self-empowerment. Those experiences taught me the importance of creating safe and supportive spaces where people can feel seen and valued without judgement.

I also hold a medical degree from Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara, which has given me a deeper understanding of health, wellness, and caring for people as a whole. Being bilingual in English and Spanish has also allowed me to connect with and support a diverse community in a more meaningful way.

I feel grateful to be part of a team dedicated to advocacy, education, and survivor support, and I look forward to continuing to serve our community with empathy and care.

Associate Director

Sabrina Ross

I have been with the Center since 2012 and have served in a range of roles dedicated to supporting survivors of interpersonal violence, beginning as the in-house victim advocate for Lompoc Police Department, where I quickly discovered a passion and natural skill for working with those impacted by trauma and abuse. Over the years my role evolved from advocate to counselor and now to Associate Director where I continue to champion the Center’s mission. While abuse and violence may be a reality in our communities, they are not insurmountable. I am proud to work alongside a team that provides trauma informed and victim centered education, peer counseling, advocacy, and prevention services throughout northern Santa Barbara County. Every day I find inspiration in the strength and bravery of survivors, the commitment of community partners, and the unwavering dedication of the Center’s staff. Together we form a network of support and hope for those in need and a united front in the fight to end sexual violence.

Finance/HR Director

Karin Powers

I was born and mostly raised in Lompoc, though I moved to Phoenix in my teens and did some traveling in the southwest, living in New Mexico and Colorado for a time. I came home to the Central Coast in the ’80s and then graduated from Allan Hancock College in 2000. In 2004, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Social Science from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. I also received a minor in Psychology, with my concentration being Social Service.

I previously worked for the Center from 2003 to 2005 as the Family Violence Prevention Coordinator, and created, directed, hosted, and produced SOS-TV (Stop Our Silence Television) for the local public access channel. I held that position for almost two years; when the grant ended, I had to move on. When my current position opened, I knew I needed to jump on it, and was very excited to be given the opportunity to return. I have had the privilege of holding the Finance/Human Resource Director position with the Center since 2008.

My passion is human services; the reason I am dedicated to the mission of the Center is that I deeply believe that every person has the right to feel safe, to be loved and respected, and to pursue their dreams without recrimination. I work hard to show that with every grant that I write and in every interaction that I have with staff, volunteers, board members and community members. My position at the Center allows me to fight the good fight for equality every day, something for which I am very grateful.
