Lookin’ at U – Emily Ziskovsky

picture disc.Quick, think of five things others should know about you.

That’s the theme behind a series in UNMC Today called “Lookin’ at U.”

Each Thursday, we will randomly select a medical center employee or student to feature.

This week, we feature Emily Ziskovsky, workstation specialist in the patient information office at the Munroe-Meyer Institute.

Here, in her own words, are five fun facts about Emily:

  • I have four children — three girls (ages 26, 24 and 20) and a boy (age 22). The oldest just had my first grandchild last month and I was in the delivery room and saw her born. The youngest is in the Nebraska Army National Guard and she will go to Iraq in October.

  • I play flute in my church choir.

  • I have my own Harley and love riding.

  • I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago and love being smoke-free.

  • I met my husband Joe (UNMC Information Technology Services) in 1989 online on a dial-up bulletin board system called Omaha Citinet, which was run by the Omaha World-Herald. We still get together with several of the people we met there, including the couple we’re going to Disney World with this fall. (MMI’s) Becky Gilbert gave me a “Disney Tree” that I have in my office to count down the days until we leave.
