Welcome Amber Ngan, Administrative Coordinator!

Please join us in welcoming Amber Ngan to her new role as Administrative Coordinator with UCSF Division of Geriatrics!

Amber joined the team today as our new Administrative Coordinator on the core admin team and will work closely with faculty and staff to support projects across research, education, and patient care. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration with a concentration in Event Planning and Experience Management from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in June 2025.

In her recent role as Event Coordinator Onsite at HPE Discover Las Vegas, Amber supported the Account Director in coordinating onsite activities across multiple workstreams, ensuring smooth communication and task alignment. She gained valuable insight into digital signage workflows and contributed to reviewing event materials for accuracy. Amber also checked digital signage for grammar, formatting, and placement, promptly addressing any issues with the design team.

Previously, as an Event Coordinator intern at Verdical Group, she contributed to conference planning, sponsorship outreach, content creation, and event design, while managing volunteers and conducting industry research.

In her new role in the Division, Amber will organize monthly Geriatrics half-day sessions, including Visiting Professor itineraries and Division-wide events, while managing faculty clinical on-call schedules. She will also oversee Division events, office operations across campuses and cover other staffing needs as they arise. Additionally, she will collaborate with the UCSF CME Office to ensure Geriatrics Grand Rounds meet CME credit requirements, track attendees, and maintain compliance. Amber’s strong organizational skills, multitasking abilities, and professional expertise make her a valuable addition to the team!

Amber can be reached at [email protected] or 415-353-1317 and will be stationed at our Mission Bay Office (cubicle # 8101) on Thursdays.  A quick shout-out to Paula Sison (Senior Administrative Coordinator) for serving as Amber’s Onboarding Buddy!  Please join us in giving her a warm welcome to the Division!
