The HDH team is the epitome of care, commitment and dedication. Our staff members provide unwavering support for our students, the campus community and each other, making every interaction and experience memorable. I am excited for the myriad opportunities ahead for our staff and campus as we continue our housing growth over the next 10 years. Most of all, I am thrilled to know that we can provide even more students the ability to live on campus and make an impact on their college experience.

As an undergraduate student, I lived on campus for five years and worked in a variety of housing positions. Along the way, I made lifelong friendships and participated in transformative leadership programs and community activities. For me, being a part of HDH allows me to collaborate with others to create inclusive residential environments that afford scholars opportunities to thrive inside and outside of the classroom. For this reason, I love working at HDH because I can continue to support students and their families as they matriculate at UC San Diego.

I joined HDH in September 2021 and it has been a wonderful homecoming for me as I grew up in San Diego. I had the privilege of working and learning at four other UCs prior (UC Santa Cruz, UCLA, UC Irvine and UC Berkeley) and have felt so welcomed and excited to be part of the Triton community. I love how creative and collaborative our team is. I have been especially excited to be able to connect with many students and find ways to share their ideas, input and impact. I can’t wait to see how we grow and continue to support our students!

I joined the HDH team 25 years ago. What I enjoy most about working at UC San Diego are the conversations with students and their friends, families and supporters as they move into campus housing. Their excitement is energizing! In the past 25 years, HDH has opened eight housing communities. It is rewarding to know that our efforts have supported the success of many students!
