- Social Media
Karla Fung works as the director of social media of the University of California, Davis, returning to her beloved alma mater after over a decade of being the voice behind many brands regionally, statewide and nationally on social media. As the director, she oversees the teams responsible for the UC Davis brand, executive and undergraduate admissions social channels. In addition, she collaborates with partners across the university and hospital campuses to ensure the breadth of stories are being told. She is passionate about spotlighting cultural and identity-based communities to increase visibility and help them grow. During her time at UC Davis, she has developed and created a robust student internship program (“STREAM”) where students can work on a wide variety of projects, content development, video production, data analytics and hone in on their skills.
Outside of working in social, Karla loves to cook for her friends and family, tries to spend as much time outdoors as possible and buys more books than she can read.
