I have worked for UC Berkeley Extension for 12 years. My typical duties include content marketing, social media marketing and photography.
 
My areas of responsibilities—or beats—are Art and Design, Construction and Sustainability, and Technology and Information Management. Design in its most expansive definition pulls together these areas, and integrates my particular interests in painting, photography, architecture, irrigation systems and user experience.
