  Tell us about your UCSF journey:  

I have been with UCSF for sixteen years this April in the Cardiology Division.  Prior to UCSF I worked at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan for 12 years as HIV Health Educator, HIV Counselor and a Project Manager in Infection Control. Before moving to NY, I worked at Del Monte Corporation HQ in San Francisco for 16 years in their Marketing and Promotion Dept. and as an Import/Export Analyst.

The Cardiology department is unique in that some people will spend their whole career in this department.  We have employees that have worked 20, 30+ years together, all working side-by-side.  This fosters a family environment.  Teamwork is key. 

My job is to support our Academic Analysts as they aid our over 60 Faculty for their academic needs. It’s always a pleasure to see how caring and dedicated our Faculty are to their patients and to our staff. I take great pride in being a part of this process.  

Do you have a favorite song? 

I like jazz and my favorite song is Take 5 by Dave Brubeck.   

What’s your ideal weather?

I have two favorite seasons​.  In Spring I love the cherry blossoms and in Fall I love the changing foliage.  The Autumn leaves reamind me of when I used to live in New York. 

What’s a favorite movie or TV Show you’ve watched recently?​

All Creatures Great and Small - Masterpiece on PBS

If you could go anywhere for a day, where would you go​?
