Stanford Surgery Cubes is your one-stop-shop for living vicariously through others! It's the only place where you can get a tour of your favorite colleague’s desk and be jealous of everything they have! Take a look at their tricked-out keyboards, mini-fridges, and crocheted human organs.
Kristen Davis-Lopez
Kristen Davis-Lopez, a Research Project Manager at S-SPIRE Center, welcomes us to her cube at 3145 Porter Drive, in the Stanford Research Park. Kristen describes her desk paraphernalia as a collection that embodies her past 12 years of work at Stanford, including lists of upcoming grant deadlines, souvenirs brought back by colleagues, and a "no" button.
Tamara Winston
Tamara Winston, an Administrative Division Director in Pediatric Surgery, lures faculty and staff to her desk with tasty goodies. Find out how else she personalizes her space.
Kim Steffen
As Academic Program Coordinator for the Division of Clinical Anatomy, it’s not surprising that half of Kim’s desk is dedicated to scheduling all of the classes, workshops, and labs. But her cube isn’t all work and no play, she also manages to incorporate her love of giraffes, crafting, and all things pink.
Jana Mlyarnova
Jana Mlynarova, a clinical research coordinator associate in Stanford's Division of Vascular Surgery, takes us on a tour of her cozy cubicle. She shares insights into her workspace and the various elements that make it functional and inviting from her color-coded file system for clinical trials to her personal stash of snacks.
Anna Noriega
Anna is a Human Resources Administrator for the Department of Surgery. As part of the Chair’s suite, her cube is located in the C.J. Huang Building at 780 Welch Rd. Anna shows off her “quirky/nerdy” side by adorning her desk with figurines from shows including The Mandalorian, The Office, and Game of Thrones. She also expresses love for her favorite sports teams from Liverpool FC to Stanford Women’s Basketball.
Laksman Veeravagu
Laksman is a Communications Associate for the Divisions of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Vascular Surgery, and Abdominal Transplantation. Housed in 770 Welch, Laksman’s cubicle is colorfully decorated with photos of loved ones and colleagues as well as emoji pillows (“because I spend so much time working with them.”)
