Great managers must balance a complex array of needs and priorities, people and processes, program goals and financial constraints. It takes a unique blend of talents to do this well. And Georgina Lopez is a natural.
Originally from Laredo, Texas, Lopez is one of six children. When she was seven, her family moved to California. They eventually settled in the Bay Area and she has been here ever since.
Lopez has built a career at UCSF, where she just marked 21 years of service. As the Finance and Administration Manager for UCSF’s Institute for Global Health (IGH), AIDS Research Institute (ARI), Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics (DEB), and Global Health Sciences (GHS), she has quite a full plate. But it is the work itself that feeds her.
“I am really connected to UCSF’s motto of advancing health worldwide and contributing to the public good,” she says. Lopez is also very focused on UCSF’s international mission. “Local, global,” she calls it. It is where her heart is.
