As director of administration, she is responsible for the fundamental operations of the Department of Medicine at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. Budget, hiring, facilities, research, and clinical-practice management all fall under her purview, as well as the strategy and development of business plans for new ventures. She began her career at UCSF in 1994 as an administrative assistant for the Division of Infectious Diseases at ZSFG. As she advanced, her focus on public health was always clear. She co-founded the Family Treatment Fund, which provided antiretroviral medications to HIV-positive Ugandans.
