CWP Staff / Administration

Shingo Sean Ishida - Communications Specialist

Shingo joined the CWP in April 2011, following a five-year tenure for the State of Colorado as a Health Communications Specialist at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Shingo manages all aspects of CWP’s communications, marketing and public relations. He oversees strategic communications with domestic and international CWP sponsor companies, corporations and government agencies. Shingo designs, develops and publishes CWP electronic publications and their hard copies, including the Consortium Project on Seismic Inverse Methods for Complex Structures annual project review book, CWP theses, research papers and articles, as well as CWP mini-posters for the annual Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) meeting. He will spearhead the effort to redesign the CWP website and oversee new website content. Outside of work, Shingo enjoys date-nights with his wife Catherine, playing softball in the Colorado State Employee Softball League, riding his motorbike, grilling things with his BBQ grill, diligently supporting the Colorado Rockies baseball team despite paying an atrocious $6 for their ballpark hot dogs, as well as various outdoor activities. Shingo hails from Vancouver, Canada and he currently resides in Denver’s suburbia. He likes dogs, but doesn’t own one.

Diane Witters - Writing Consultant
  Diane offers technical writing and oral presentation workshops and supports CWP students as they develop into more confident and effective writers, presenters, and collaborators within our diverse international group. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in cultural anthropology from Principia College in Illinois and completed a graduate field study (organized through Northwestern University) on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona; this consisted of ethnographic research on bilingual/bicultural education within a Native American community. She also earned a Master of Arts in Language Teaching degree from the School for International Training, Vermont, with certification in English as a Second Language, Spanish and Multi-Cultural Education. She is constantly experimenting with ways to balance a full home life of raising teenage sons with an active career. (So far, so good!) Her current professional interests include encouraging cross-cultural sensitivity on campus and helping international graduate students negotiate various transitions to successfully acculturate within a new academic environment. Diane has a passion for wild spaces and slips into the mountains and canyons for trail running, backpacking, canoeing, biking, and cross-country skiing.
