About Me

I’m the Director of OCPD, the career and professional development office at the University of California San Francisco (career.ucsf.edu). We teach clinicians- and scientists-in-training professional skills for career success.

3) My team’s ongoing efforts to implement organizational management best practices to build an inclusive, highly functioning office that we actually want to work in (because if we can’t do it as career and professional development professionals, who can?)
