Talk about your job and what you like best about it:

I work on research and development activities for the UNMC College of Medicine. My primary focus is on the MD-PhD Scholars Program, where I serve as the program administrator. In this role, I support 40 current students as they navigate the eight-year program, and I help with the recruitment and admission of new students. The best part of this job is working with great students and program leaders (Drs. Howard Fox, Justin Mott, Allison Cushman-Vokoun and Al Fisher).

List three things people may not know about you:

• I enjoy playing in the pickleball league here on campus. I’ve gotten first place in the recreational division and last place in the elite division.
• This summer I will complete my Master's in Public Administration (MPA) with a concentration in health and social policy.
• I once spent $300 at the vet to learn that my dog had "an unexplainable case of barf-o-rama."
