Talk about your job and what you like best about it:
I work with faculty, administrators and staff. My job is to coordinate, maintain and monitor the personnel information in the COM Dean’s Offices and for the College of Medicine. We are a very busy office and handle lots of questions and paperwork. I like that no day is ever alike with something new and challenging always coming up.
Your favorite memory of working at UNMC:
I actually have two favorite memories, one was how we all felt this year when we finally got everything in and made it through budget season. This was a tough year! The second memory was a birthday luncheon we had when Dr. John Gollan was dean. He told some great stories, and I will never think about a certain medical procedure the same again. LOL
Hobbies:
Reading, knitting, sewing. I inherited some quilt pieces, so I am now going to try and put my first quilt together.
List three things people may not know about you:
- I was born in Mesa, Ariz., and was one of five girls. We moved to Iowa during a snowstorm in December, when I was in grade school. This is probably why I’m not a cold weather person, and I don’t complain when it’s hot.
- I was a registered EMT.
- My first job was as a carhop at our local A&W Drive-In. I didn’t use roller skates, but I did have a nifty coin changer. This is where I met my husband. We still laugh about all the root beer he used to drink trying to get me to go out with him.
