Nadia Finkelman

Staffing Manager

"It warms my heart that I am able to help people find work that are struggling to do so themselves. I know I've been there before, and it is not a fun situation to be in when you really need the income. I am very happy to be here and want to help as many people as possible!"

Express North Portland welcomed Nadia to the team on January 11th, 2021. Before Express, Nadia held a wide range of positions, including but not limited to Promoter, Material Expeditor, Hostess, Business Assistant, Sales Associate, and Party Hostess. She always volunteered at various elementary schools as a Teacher's Aid. She is a skilled worker who possesses the ability to perform various tasks while building and managing great relationships with our job seekers and clients. Overall, she is a very positive and outgoing employee, and we are glad to have her on our team!

Born and raised in California, Nadia and her mother moved to Beaverton, Oregon, in August 2019 after Nadia graduated from college. Nadia currently resides in Portland with her dog, Charlie.

Elizabeth Flippenko

Front Office Coordinator

"I get to meet people of different backgrounds and help them find something they can do for a living that suits them. Finding work is incredibly difficult right now, and it's important that our associates have a support system that will help them."

Express North Portland welcomed Elizabeth to the team in August 2022. Dependable, stubbornly compassionate, and always persevering, Elizabeth is bent on succeeding no matter where she is, and we are excited to see her do that with us.

Elizabeth is originally from Eugene, OR, but has always felt that Portland is like a distant cousin of her hometown, so the move was easy. Before relocating, Elizabeth worked in the healthcare field but found herself branching into new industries and leadership roles when she moved. When Elizabeth is not at Express, you can find her exercising her creative liberties with painting, writing, and crocheting. She also enjoys reading.
