Meet our CAO

Kate Tweddale, the chief administrative officer (CAO) for the Chemistry Department, is now also the CAO of the IPN! Is there anything she doesn’t do?

With 11 years at UC Davis, Kate brings a wealth of experience, having started at the Center for Continuing and Professional Education at the School of Veterinary Medicine. She has been the CAO of the Department of Chemistry for six years now. We're thrilled to have such a skilled and dedicated professional on our team. Kate is passionate about the IPN's mission because she has seen firsthand how few innovative treatments exist for mental health and is inspired by the IPN’s mission to develop accessible solutions that can help people around the world.

She enjoys reading, traveling internationally, and cooking for family and friends outside of work.
