I champion a team of professionals who support the financial management of global health initiatives impacting pandemic preparedness and response, HIV, malaria, and maternal and child health. I believe I have a unique role in creating change within the Institute through my engagement in diversity, equity, inclusion, wellness and community. </p> <p><strong>If you could go anywhere for a day, where would you go? </strong></p> <p>I’d visit my site in Paraguay where I was a Peace Corps volunteer. </p> <p><strong>What’s on your reading list? </strong></p> <p>I’ve been reading mostly non-fiction lately. On my stack is Endemic: A Post-Pandemic Playbook by Monica Gandhi and Hella Town: Oakland’s History of Development and Disruption by Mitchell Schwarzer. We’ll be discussing Dr. Gandhi’s book at the end of the month at the Institute for Global Health Science’s Book Club. </p> <p><strong>Anything you are excited about – professionally or otherwise?  </strong></p> <p>I get excited about bringing people together both personally and professionally. I’m excited about the pre-trick or treating Halloween party we will have with our neighbors and the volunteer event I am planning for my department with Project Open Hand in November. </p> <p><strong>Why did you decide to join the Women of UCSF Health's Committee? </strong></p> <p>To meet other women across UCSF and contribute to highlighting the amazing women across campus. </p> <hr /> <p><a href="https://womenofucsfhealth.ucsf.edu/meet-our-2023-2024-committee"><em>Get to know the rest of our Women of UCSF Health team</em></a><a href="https://womenofucsfhealth.ucsf.edu/meet-our-2023-2024-committee">.</a></p> <hr /> <p> </p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="footer-bottom"> <nav aria-label="Footer Navigation" class="footer--navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/accessibility-resources">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/website-privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/website-terms-use">Terms of Use </a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/azlist">A-Z Website List</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="footer--copyright"> <p>© 2024 The Regents of the University of California</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ws.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ (function() { var sz = document.createElement('script'); sz.type = 'text/javascript'; sz.async = true; sz.src = '//siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_8343.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(sz, s); })(); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html>
