Director, Alumni & Community Engagement

 

As the Alumni Director at Scripps Oceanography and UC San Diego alumna myself, I believe in continued relationships well after graduation and the power of building connection and practical support in San Diego, across the country, and around the globe.

I love to hear where our alumni are now, connect them with practical career support, celebrate any news, deepen community through reunions & special events, and involve alumni in the vibrant work underway at Scripps.
