She brings to the law school nearly 20 years of experience in communication management: At Genentech, Inc., she was director of corporate public relations; at Levi Strauss & Co. she was director of European communications in its Brussels office and served in a variety of communications roles at the company’s San Francisco headquarters.

“What law schools do has changed enormously over the past decade, and so have our communications needs,” said Larry Kramer, Richard E. Lang Professor of Law and Dean. “This is especially true for Stanford Law School, which has an amazingly diverse intellectual program. Having someone with Sabrina’s experience will enable us to communicate more effectively who we are and what makes this such a special place.”
