EOP Assistant Director, SSS-STEM Director
How long have you been at Berkeley?
I've worked at UC Berkeley since 2014. I first started at the Career Center (now Berkeley Career Engagement), then at the School of Social Welfare, and came over to the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) in 2018.
What do you love most about working here?
Working with our students and student staff keeps me grounded and has always been my favorite part of the job. Being able to connect one-on-one with them and learning about their journeys and dreams has always been so powerful and inspiring.
What's your job?
I currently serve as the EOP Assistant Director as well as the EOP STEM/SSS-STEM Scholars Program Director.
What's a great day at work look like for you?
A great day at work is having some extra time in between meetings to have more of those informal check-ins with staff and students. I've recently been a little more pulled away from the one-on-one student counseling appointments, so anytime I'm able to connect with our students or student staff brings me so much joy. And to make my day even sweeter, I'll treat myself to a boba during lunch for the ultimate pick-me-up!
Where's your favorite place on campus?
I don't have a specific favorite, but I do love walking through campus, especially when the cherry blossoms are blooming :)
Fun fact about me:
I have a three year old golden-doodle and two year old toddler who love to keep me busy!
