Ron Richards joined LPL as an Administrative Associate with the OSIRIS-REx project in April 2014. He recently returned to the University of Arizona after a six-year whirlwind employment tour of some of the other institutions of higher learning in the U.S. (University of South Florida, Nevada State College, and Southern Oregon University). Ron is currently Facilities Manager for the Michael J. Drake Building (home of the OSIRIS-REx project); his previous UA positions included Information Specialist for the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Office Assistant, Senior, in the Office of Career Services. He is "delighted to have been given the opportunity to work with OSIRIS-REx, and with the chance to return to Tucson."

Vicki Robles de Serino began her career at LPL in January 2014. She is an Administrative Assistant supporting several research groups in the Kuiper building. Before coming to LPL, Vicki worked at UApresents for more than 6 years in various roles, beginning as a part-time Receptionist and transitioning to a Development Assistant and Administrative Assistant. She assisted the Executive Director, planned donor-related events, administered donations, helped with processing day-to-day financial transactions, and assisted with hiring as needed. When she's not at work supporting successful research endeavors, Vicki says she loves spending time with her family and enjoying her hobbies: reading, running, and photography.
