I’ve been with UCLA Transportation for over 5 years, and I presently work for the Marketing and Public Relations business unit as a Lead Web and Graphics Designer. My personal and professional interests are in Information Technology platforms that promote social media and IT based networking. In support of my personal and professional development, I am currently enrolled in a Design Communication Arts certificate program at UCLA Extension. I would like to continue this growth by leveraging my talents and expanding my network by contributing to the UCLA community and it’s Staff Assembly. Following the path and scope of my current professional responsibilities, where I design information media via prints and provide design and content support for our Website, Intranet and social media outlets (i.e. custom‐built Be a Green Commuter WordPress Blog, Transportation Facebook Page, Twitter, YouTube accounts). I would like to leverage design, technology and public relations for the Staff Assembly team that increases visibility, promotion that would enhance communication and involvement with UCLA staff.

I look forward to supporting the UCLA Staff community by utilizing technology and media platforms to communicate the most current news and information that benefits and supports our staff. Utilizing technology I would like to assist with building innovative networking opportunities that unites staff with campus leadership and each other. I also look forward to working with, and enhancing the technology that supports live streaming and podcasting of Town Hall meetings, Learn at Lunches, and other events, that increases access to all the programs that Staff Assembly offers.

A key goal for me will be to roll out a new Staff Assembly YouTube Channel by creating videos to help promote past and upcoming events, document important meetings, and promote Staff Assembly activities to the campus. I will continue to build out the functionality of the Staff Assembly web site, and I will focus on continuing to deliver quality and timely information to the listserv via the partner emails. I also look forward to taking on new technology challenges, supporting the Staff Assembly organization, and experiencing all the new opportunities this position has to offer.
