Program Associate
I was born and raised in the bay area and will probably never leave this beautiful place. I earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of the Pacific where I studied Business with an emphasis on Marketing. I’ve worked in small business settings and I appreciate the many attributes of that environment. I enjoy working at the Anita Borg Institute because in many ways we are a small family. We consist of several unique personalities and each person brings a different strength and character to the organization. Please contact me if you have any questions about Women of Vision or Grace Hopper event sponsorship or registration. You may also contact me if you need help scheduling a meeting (I’m a wizard) or if you’d like to swap puppy pictures.
