Hope Hardwick prides herself on juggling a career and furthering her education while raising a family of three girls.

Hope's busy life keeps her operating at a fast pace, and that's just the way Hope likes it.

Hope started working at Fresno State in 2014. She is a Bulldog, having earned her B.S. in business administration with a minor in Spanish in 1997.

Currently providing Computerized Maintenance Management System technical support for Facilities Management, Hope loves high-tech.

"Technology is growing and changing at such a high speed and will continue to grow in all fields and job roles," she said. "It's exciting to see the changes and advantages it brings."

Hope also provides tech support for a work management app for Humboldt State University, San Francisco State University, California State University, San Marcos, Sonoma State University and Cal Maritime.

"I enjoy the people I work with here at Fresno State and other CSU universities," she said. "I value the opportunity to gain insight and share how other campuses manage and track their work control system."

When not absorbed in the world of technology, Hope loves walking and hiking.

She and her husband (a fellow Bulldog) have three children: Julia, 17; Jessica, 15; and Jada, 13 — all involved in school and travel sports.

"I met my husband of 19 years, Jesse Hardwick, while studying in the graduate lounge of Peters Building," she said. "We also have high hopes that our three daughters will further their education at Fresno State — Bulldog Born. Bulldog Bred."

Last July, Hope and her family adopted an English bulldog named Journey, who no doubt reminds them of Victor E.
