Director of Operations, Adult Services, Advanced Practice Providers

Alisa's Bio: 

I was born in San Francisco and raised in Piedmont, California. UCSF Health has been my first and only employer since obtaining my California Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner licenses.

What do you like to do outside of work?

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time competing in tennis and pickleball at local and national tournaments. In addition, I volunteer with a theatrical group that puts on original productions for school-age children of San Francisco.

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

I would spend the entire day exploring the underwater world. If I didn’t pursue healthcare as my career, I would have become a marine biologist.

What advice would you give to a woman entering your field today?

The possibilities for lateral or upward movement is endless. Seek out mentors and self-reflect on your professional goals early and often.

Why did you decide to join Women of UCSF’s team of volunteers?

Joining a group of women who are passionate and dedicated leaders in their own specialty is a source of constant inspiration

What’s your ideal weather?

Early sunrises and can wear shorts and a tshirt from sunrise to sunset.
