10-second bio: Meet Amal Smith, who hails from the Garden of Eden
May 12, 2014 •
Name: Amal Smith
Title: Director
Department/Unit: Financial Accounting/Business Resource Center
Location: 9th floor, Franklin
When I started working at UCOP: March 2000
What I do in five words or less: Red tape wrangler
Best part about working for OP: Being a part of delivering the UC mission
Something you don’t know about me: I love to curl up on the couch to read a mystery or to watch an old movie.
One weird fact about the place I grew up in: Bahrain is an archeological treasure trove and was once known as a Garden of Eden island, the land of Dilmun.
If I could have any job in the world (besides the one I have now) I would be: a back-up singer . . . supposing I could suddenly carry a tune.
Had to read your bio with the lead in of hailing from the Garden of Eden. Be careful of all that red tape…it can get pretty sticky.
You gave up the Garden of Eden for UC? That’s commitment. You didn’t mention who you would want to be a backup singer for. I’m going to guess Frankie Valli.
