As the Director of Finance and Administration, I oversee the institute's finance, operations, human resources, and faculty affairs. Prior to joining Stanford HAI, I served at Stanford's Center for Philanthropy and Civil Society (PACS), where I managed both operations and finance. Before that, I was the Senior Director of Finance and Administration at the University of Arizona, where I successfully managed complex budgets and led large teams. I hold a Master’s and a Bachelor’s degree in Finance, both from the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona, and I am also a Certified Research Administrator (CRA).
