Wendy has extensive experience managing complex programs across various disciplines. While working at the University of Illinois at Chicago, she oversaw multiple health research studies aimed at improving community engagement in historically marginalized communities. She also developed best practices for creating and maintaining diverse community advisory boards to ensure all communities are part of the conversation. Wendy has also worked at the American Academy of Pediatrics where she managed their National Conference Abstract Program. This required her to work with hundreds of doctors and medical students across 55 subspecialties for the submission and review of their abstracts.

Wendy now uses her programs development and relationship building skills to work with schools to implement music and arts programming across the Bay area. Her passion for building health equity includes bringing music and arts into the lives of every student.

In addition, she also serves on the Board of Music in Schools Today and is the working chair for the Stars on Staff Gala.
