Two winners were named for a scholarship honoring the memory of Bonnie Baha, a portfolio manager at Jeffrey Gundlach’s DoubleLine Capital.

Estrellita Salazar and Crystal Guerrero are the 2019 recipients of the Bonnie Baha Memorial Scholarship, now in its second year.

The scholarship was initiated last year to address the underrepresentation of women in financial fields — a cause dear to Baha, who served as a mentor to women both at DoubleLine and elsewhere. Baha passed away when she was 56 after she was struck by a car in August 2016 while out walking with her family.

Salazar and Guerrero received scholarships of $10,000 and $5,000, respectively, to be used toward their graduate studies at the Gordon S. Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, where Baha was an alumna.

The scholarship committee found Salazar and Guerrero were both “exceptionally qualified” for the award based on their academic and community merits.

“These women have a commitment to helping women,” said Monica Erickson, portfolio manager and head of the investment-grade corporate bond team at DoubleLine.

In addition to pursuing a career in finance, Salazar volunteers at Step Up, a nonprofit organization supporting girls from under-resourced communities. Guerrero, meanwhile, has managed a STEM Success Center at Citrus College in Glendora, Calif.
