Cristina Rudden joined International House at UC Berkeley in January 2022 as the Catering and Events Manager, where she oversees the planning and execution of a diverse portfolio of programs—from fundraising galas and alumni reunions to academic conferences and community celebrations. The Event Services team is responsible for the usage of rental spaces at I-House as well as the catering and production support of events taking place in these spaces.
Prior to joining I-House, Cristina spent over 14 years at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, advancing through roles from Private Events Coordinator to Director of Internal Coordination and leading teams, vendor partnerships, and operational logistics for high-profile community events.
Cristina’s passion for operational logistics and connection aligns perfectly with I-House’s mission to foster intercultural respect and understanding. When she’s not orchestrating memorable events at work, she’s planning events for her friends and community at home.
