                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 6, 2017

  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Ms. Allison Louise 
Rosa for her service to my office and the people of California's 21st 
Congressional District.
  Ms. Rosa was born May 14, 1994 in Hanford, California where she grew 
up on her family's dairy farm with her parents, Roland and Karen, her 
sister Emily, and her brother Jack. Growing up, Allison was very active 
in the dairy community; she was even crowned the First Alternate Dairy 
Princess for Kings County, California in 2012.
  After graduating from Mt. Whitney High School in Visalia, California, 
Ms. Rosa went on to attend College of the Sequoias and Holy Names 
University. She graduated in 2016 from Fresno Pacific University with a 
degree in Communications. While in college, Allison was an avid tennis 
player and an NCAA division II athlete.
  Allison joined my team as Scheduler in my Washington, D.C. office in 
May 2016. As Scheduler, she was instrumental to my team through 
managing my daily schedule and helping her coworkers with daily tasks 
to make the office run more smoothly. While on my team, Allison was 
greatly respected by her peers for her professionalism, dedication to 
her work, and sense of humor.
  Outside of work, Allison enjoys spending time with her friends and 
talking to her family back in California. She is currently looking 
forward to moving back home to California to be closer to her family 
and the coast.
  Ms. Rosa's time with my office will come to a close April 7, 2017 
when she leaves to begin a new career at Epoch Estate Wines in 
Templeton, California. Knowing Ms. Rosa, her character, and her work 
ethic, I have no doubt that she will achieve many great things in her 
future.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in commending Ms. Allison Louise Rosa for 
her public service to the people of the Central Valley and wishing her 
well as she embarks on the next chapter of her life.
