What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?

I would have to say for this year, Dental Day was a lot of fun! I loved having all the children here and watching the students interact with them. Some students were even willing to dress up as dental super men and women.

Our four brand values are leadership, commitment to excellence, working together and being a trusted resource. Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC.

I have a co-worker I watch day in and day out push herself to the limit doing her job. It is a very big job, she processes almost all of our dental claims here at the college. But on the same note she is always willing to stop and help me or anyone else out while the work continues to pile up on her desk. I think she is definitely an example of commitment to excellence.

List three things people may not know about you.

  • I used to do Civil War re-enactments in which I played a spoiled southern bell;
  • I love to sail; and
  • I have been a dental assistant for more than 15 years.
