Shelley Hou '00, M.A. '03

Hi there! I'm Shelley , the Director of Technology here at the Office of Accessible Education. I came to Stanford as a pre-med undergrad and majored in Biology and Anthropology before earning a master's degree in Anthropology. One of my first jobs on campus was with this office, driving other students to their classes in a golf cart. From DisGo driver to lab assistant; Accommodations Coordinator to Manager; and now as Director of Tech, I've seen the OAE grow and evolve to meet the rising needs of our student population. I'm very proud to have designed and implemented OAE | CONNECT, continuing to oversee its ongoing development and administration; enterprise assistive technology; and alternate format production. As a 1.5 generation immigrant from Taiwan, "family" is spread over multiple time zones, born of blood and curated by choice. My wife and I have a kid in college on the east coast and a 60-lb fur baby/lapdog. I spend downtime reading or farming (in Stardew Valley); trying to organize the chaos around me; and attempting an endless list of DIY projects.
