Kathy Wong (Employee last names M-Z) (510) 643-6921 |
Kathy joined UHS in 1999 but she’s been working at UC Berkeley since 1986 (Rec Sports, UCPD, and the Institute of Human Development). Kathy is successful in her role because she is very detail-oriented, accurate, and persistent — all traits that are important when dealing with the complex world of workers' compensation. Kathy loves to babysit Lily and Lila, her friend’s babies. She spoils them by preparing home-cooked meals of roasted vegetables and baked chicken. She also loves getting them toys and treats, such as balls and milk bone biscuits. Yes, they are dogs! |
