Mike Peña is a Associate Director of Communications and Marketing at University of California, Santa Cruz. He possess expertise in press releases, editing, newsletters, journalism, web content and 31 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I've worked with Mike at two jobs and I appreciate Mike's dedication to getting things done and his ability to constantly multitask and keep his daily duties on track. Mike and I worked together as business writers for Crittenden Newsletters in Novato, and I quickly learned of his passion for the craft of writing, his dedication to his duties, and his quick wit and ever-present sense of humor. Oftentimes our conversations outside of the office turned to great writing that he was reading at the time, and it was clear at the time and remains clear to me today that he always holds quality as supreme in his own work as well. By coincidence our career paths ran parallel again at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where I was honored to share an office with him again and be a part of the same team. Since our time at Crittenden, Mike had acquired new skill sets in editing, production and Web content management, and I developed a new appreciation for the depth of his abilities and his constant drive to set a higher standard and to help those around him achieve and exceed it." and "Mike is a conscientious and polite editor."
