What is one fun fact about you?
I had three skull fractures before I turned 11 years old, including a fall off a cliff on Twin Peaks in San Francisco. Maybe that's how my mind went to music for a career!
What is one thing that you like about working at Stanford?
Working with such interesting and talented students.
Tell us briefly about an event, project, program or initiative you were involved with at Stanford that you're most proud of.
Representing the University's centennial on an international concert tour as cellist of the Stanford String Quartet.
What is one of your favorite memories while working at Stanford?
I don't know if it's a favorite, but being on campus during the Loma Prieta earthquake is something I will never forget. How the Braun Music Center shook! (It was supposed to, of course.)
Leave your Legacy: What piece of guidance would you give a new hire at Stanford?
Make yourself aware of all that the University has to offer an employee.
