I deeply believe in the mission of San Francisco State University and am committed to higher education that is accessible and promotes diversity. I have served the University as an Academic Coordinator since 2003. I graduated from SFSU with a Master’s of Public Administration in 2004. In 2005, I joined the Smoking Policy Task Force as an active member. In December of 2005, I received the honor of being the STAR of the Month. In 2009, I recieved the SF State Institute for Civic and Community Engagement Staff Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Community. I am happy to be serving the university as a member of the Academic Senate and At Large to the Excutive Committee.

I am also the Managing Director of Trash Mash-Up.  Trash Mash-Up is a community art project. Using disposable materials, collected before they enter the waste stream, participants construct “Maskostumes” which are original pageant masks and costumes inspired by traditions from around the world. This project reduces waste and inspires people to see each other and our environment in a new way. Visit TMU's website at http://trashmashup.googlepages.com/
