What I Do
My work as the web content manager is to maintain EE’s web presence. I make sure that our public website is accurate, and promote our faculty and research through online spaces.
I'm also a resource for websites, Stanford profiles, Wikipedia, QR codes, images, news, events, and frequent user of jokes; connect with me if you need anything related to this list!
Origins
I am originally from Michigan, and sometimes pronounce vowels in a nasally mid-west/northern America accent. After college, I accepted a marketing data job in Ann Arbor. Shortly after, I was hired as a digital artist at a multimedia startup. I am still astounded at the talent and quality of the people I met! We all became great friends, and still are today.
Partly because of the dot-com bubble, I decided to shift into the higher ed space, and worked at the University of Michigan for several years. My husband took a job in California, and I like him a lot, so I decided to get a job in California too. And I had the good fortune to land in the EE department.
In 2018, my husband and I purchased a fixer-upper property in Hawaii, so when COVID's shelter-in-place (SIP) directive came out, we made a quick decision to SIP while fixing up in Hawaii. As the pandemic went on and on, my role transitioned to fully remote.
As a content manager who is remote, I have a greater awareness of load time, information design, and plain old internet access. It is a gentle reminder that campus-centric information and ‘heavy’ content, like video, need to be accessible in every sense.
My EExperience
I love the sense of community that our staff have toward one another and students. From my very first day (which was at the incoming grad student orientation in 2014) I enjoy being part of a group of people who come together to welcome and celebrate students. I have been EE's commencement photographer every year, and it’s extraordinary to witness the joy of the graduates and their families. It’s also been a unique opportunity to work with keen photographers like Professors Hector Garcia-Molina and Joe Kahn.
Outside of Work
I'm trying my hand at propagating poinsettias and protea. TLDR; gardening.
Favorite Spot
I mentally walked through my usual spots on campus and off, and I realized that my favorite places are wherever I can be still enough to observe the beauty around me – even for just a few moments before the next ding, ping, alert, share, or space-invading spider finds me.
In my office – I have 4 rescue dogs; two were intentional and two were surprises. And you can kinda tell that I’m going to become a grandma soon!! (to a human)
Also in my office – my almost 30 yo parrot, Grey.
