Staff
The staff of the Graduate Division serve potential, current, and alumni graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. We work with many campus units to accomplish our mission of supporting graduate student and postdoctoral scholar success, during and after their time at UCSC.
During the COVID-19 campus shutdown, the best means of communicating with Division of Graduate Studies is via email. Connect with us on social media!

I joined the Politics Department and Latin American and Latino Studies Department in January 2018 as the Graduate Programs Coordinator. I previously worked as an Undergraduate Advisor in the UCSC Psychology Department. I take pride in incorporating social justice, as well as compassionate and research-backed advising strategies and teaching pedagogies, in my work in advising, administration, and program development.
