Biography

My name is Elisabeth and I’m a Finance and Office Operations Manager for Computing and Information Services at Harvey Mudd College, where I work at the intersection of technology, finance, and campus operations. I am a proud graduate of UC San Diego and California State University, Long beach. I manage budgeting, procurement, and end-user computing programs while leading vendor partnerships and cross-campus initiatives that support students, faculty, and staff. As a first-generation Latina with a master’s degree, I’ve navigated spaces where representation is limited, and that has shaped my commitment to growing in this field and creating more access for others. I enjoy being in a connector role, building relationships, improving processes, and helping a small institution like ours stay visible and well-supported in a fast-moving ed-tech landscape. I’m especially interested in AI and digital transformation, and I am committed to continuing my professional development as I work toward a future leadership role in higher education IT and operations.
