Bio

I have worked for UC Davis since 2001. My experience includes human resources (staff and academic personnel), data analysis, project management, contracts and grants administration, financial management, academic advising, strategic initiatives, organizational change management and space planning. Eight years of my experience was as a Management Services Officer for three different units (Theatre and Dance, Western Institute for Food Safety and Security, and Computational Science and Engineering). In my previous position, I helped lead a nationally recognized COVID-19 mitigation and response effort including oversight of 350,000 saliva sample collections and administering 13,000 vaccinations.

Since 2021, my current role is Executive Analyst for Campus Planning and Environmental Stewardship. I am working on several strategic initiatives for CPES including developing policies regarding forestry management, an internally focused transportation tomorrow study, building maintenance staff reorganization, evaluating work order systems, collecting metrics on work performed by our teams, and I recently completed a Lean Six Sigma training program including a project for the Arboretum and Public Garden’s Grounds & Landscape Services sub-team that will create efficiency and consistency in on-boarding for new staff in CPES.
