I help students learn about or apply for admission to professional or graduate schools.  Also, as an assistant director of the Career Services Center, I head up the Professional and Graduate School Opportunities Program, the central campus resource serving all UCSD students and alumni.

I came to UCSD in 1973.  After a short time in the Office of the Registrar, I moved to a position in medical education and student affairs at UCSD School of Medicine. After five interesting and enjoyable years working with medical school students, staff and faculty, I became the chief pre-medical advisor for the undergraduate campus and the coordinator of career services center for students interested in the biological and health sciences.  By 1985, and with the assistance of a larger staff, our services grew to help all students interested in all graduate and professional school fields.  

Students walk in feeling confused and overwhelmed.  I help clear the confusion and break down their concerns.  While helping them, I get the pleasure of becoming acquainted with them in return. I consider myself very lucky.

Charting your future involves learning about the world and aiming for a fulfilling career starts with knowing yourself.

I’m enjoying myself with my daughter, a college student, and my husband, a faculty member in the Physics Department at UCSD.
