Hi, I’m Marina!

I'm a San Francisco Bay Area–based administrative professional with over 15 years of progressive experience at the University of California, San Francisco — one of the world's leading academic medical centers. My career spans healthcare administration, program management, human resources, and finance.

I have a strong work ethic, a commitment to seeing projects through to completion, and believe in proactive communication. I enjoy problem-solving, project management, and writing, and I thrive in deadline-driven environments. I am equally comfortable working autonomously and collaboratively as part of a team. I take direction well and ask questions when needed.

I am technically savvy and enjoy learning new systems. I regularly embrace AI tools in support of my work — for writing, clarity, grammar, and punctuation, among other uses. I work with both Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

My experience includes managing clinic operations, coordinating complex staff schedules for a 24/7 emergency clinical service supporting more than 80 medical providers, overseeing HR functions for academic and non-academic employees, and managing end-to-end non-salaried payroll in excess of $1.5M. I have worked hard to develop and foster strong relationships with individuals and departments across UCSF, and I can do the same for you! I have collaborated closely with senior administrative and clinical leadership on daily operations, HR and personnel matters, research, and data analysis, as well as front-line staff members and department analysts.

✅ Reliability — 15+ years of consistent delivery in high-stakes environments.

✅ Confidentiality — Experienced in handling sensitive HR, payroll, and financial data with discretion.

✅ Proactivity — I anticipate needs, flag issues early, and keep projects on track.

✅ Warmth — I genuinely care about the people and businesses I support.
