"You got to make your own worlds; you got to write yourself in." - Octavia E. ButlerThe self-help genre is severely lacking in content for people who look like me, love like me, and live like me; so I'm writing myself in.

Berkeley, California

Primary areas of focus: Biological Sciences including the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI, where CRISPR lives), Mathematical & Physical Sciences, and the Berkeley School of Education.My duties include the typical Prospect Research Analyst duties of identifying potential donors, supporting the success of the fundraisers and the university, data analysis, and frequent strategy sessions.What I really love, though, is figuring out what story the data tells and then telling that story. I enjoy making connections between colleagues and spotting potential relationships between the remarkable research happening on campus and the donors who are ready to change the world. I'm deeply connected to the parts of my work where I can help my colleagues communicate better and where I can impact the work in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Justice in my department and beyond.I can talk about all the wealth I identified, the puzzles I solved, and the data integrity I supported; however, I'm proudest of my work as a mentor, both to other people on my immediate team and to two brilliant people who work in different parts of campus. I've mentored them through position changes and reclassification, interpersonal work challenges, and harmonizing their day jobs and their personal lives.
