ECEC Advisory Board Staff Representative, 2014-2016
SSHA Search Committees: various, 2011-2015

In the past year, how have you played an active role in Staff Assembly? This can include committee work, participating in events, or attendance at Executive Board meetings:

In August 2014, I was selected to be the Staff Representative to the ECEC Advisory Board, which is a two year commitment. This board has had 4 meetings so far this year, with at least one other anticipated before the start of the next Academic Year. I have attended Executive Board meetings as often as my schedule has allowed, and reported ECEC Advisory Board updates to Vice President Pam Taylor when I have not been able to attend. Staff Appreciation Week is always an exciting week, and I am looking forward to participating in some of the events scheduled for next week.

If you are selected to fill this role, what do you feel would be your contribution to the University of California, Merced, staff, and the Executive Board? How have your past experiences given you the knowledge and skills to provide this contribution

The role of (Co-)Chair for Programs, Events and Outreach seems like an exciting opportunity to be a part of the Executive Board. I believe that staff voice, including representation in committees across campus is crucial, and sometimes undervalued. I think that encouraging staff to participate in Staff Assembly meetings, as well as events and advisory boards whenever possible is important, and I would like to help facilitate this and make Staff Assembly more visible across campus.

In my current position I work closely with faculty and staff, and I think that my organizational skills, experience with event coordinating, as well as my ability to work and collaborate well with others would be an asset to the Executive Board. I have loved being a part of UC Merced since I started in 2011, and I am eager and ready to contribute and take on more responsibility beyond what my job entails.
