What’s your role at UCSF and what is your favorite part about it?
I’m the Director of Foundation Communication and I love working on a team that uses storytelling for good. Stories about courage, compassion, talent, tenacity, and love. When it comes to the health and well-being of kids, there is no finish line. But I can wake up each morning feeling like I am part of an effort to move things closer to where we want to be.

Take more risks!
