DMA Board of Directors
Robin Kozloff
Board Chair
Robin is a 30-year Davis resident and neighborhood activist in the Davis Manor neighborhood where the DMA studio is located. As a member of the Davis Manor Creative Action Team, she helps organize participatory public art and other neighborhood improvement projects that build community and a sense of place. She is a graduate of the UC Davis International Agricultural Development master’s program, and has a background in social science research related to agriculture and land use policy.
Jeff Hudson
Board Treasurer
Jeff came to Davis in 1995, along with his wife and their then-5-year-old twin sons, who attended local schools and UC Davis. Along the way, Jeff did a lot of journalism for Capital Public Radio, the Davis Enterprise, and the late, lamented Sacramento News & Review. For many years, Jeff also volunteered at KDVS, hosting gospel music programs. In what now seems like a previous life, Jeff experienced the Loma Prieta Earthquake seven miles from the epicenter (while living in downtown Watsonville in an 1887 home that is now a history museum).
Tricia Tomiyoshi
Board Secretary
Tricia Tomiyoshi has been a Davis resident for nearly a decade. She got her start in college radio at KZSC at UC Santa Cruz and has spent more than 20 years in communications roles, including her current position as senior public information officer for UC Davis Health. She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from UC Santa Cruz and a master’s degree in journalism from Northeastern University.
Ulfat Shaikh
Board Member
Ulfat Shaikh is a pediatrician at University of California Davis Children's Hospital and a Professor of Pediatrics at UC Davis School of Medicine. She previously served as Clinical Quality Officer for the California Department of Health Care Services. A board-certified pediatrician for over 20 years, Ulfat completed her medical education at Goa Medical College, India and pediatric residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York.

Ulfat is excited about bringing her pediatric expertise working with youth development as DMA continues to develop and build on its youth media initiatives.
Autumn Labbe-Renault
Executive Director Davis Media Access
At my core, I'm a community activist who believes that strong communities need constant care, dissenting voices and forums for healthy dialogue. "Finding" community media 20 years ago let me put all of that into action on a daily basis. Building DMA into a healthy and vibrant community resource is a huge passion for me.
Our work at DMA is collaborative, open, engaging, fun, and done for community benefit. I work with an awesome community of staff, board and volunteers. I've served this organization as Assistant Director, Director of Operations, and since 2007, its Executive Director. I produce programming for DCTV Channel 15, including local election programming, and have hosted public affairs programming on KDRT.
My monthly column on media and telecommunications is published in The Davis Enterprise the last Thursday of each month and I’ve also been published in a wide range of media journals, online media, and other periodicals.
Darrick Servis
Director of Operations, Staff Liaison to Board
I've been working at Davis Media Access for over 25 years. Before that I was involved with radio station KDVS. I spend most of my time here working on finances, operations, information technology and the repair, installation and integration of all of our equipment.
I have been a linux zealot since 1996 and code on a number of open source projects, such as the radio station automation suite, Rivendell, the content management system Drupal, and the customer relationship management system, Civicrm.
I like my work because I believe free and diverse expression is an important part of our culture. It heightens the quality of discourse and helps us all continue to grow, learn and experience new things.
