What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?

My best memory is presenting a problem based learning case study to the LEND trainees and leading them in a discussion about the case. I learned so much about my fellow trainees, both personally and professionally, and I learned more about myself and my own discipline. I hope to teach at a university in the future so this was a great experience for me.

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.

Working together is a value that I see everyday at UNMC. At the Munroe-Meyer Institute we are all so dedicated to providing the best interdisciplinary care to help our patients. I saw this first hand my first week at UNMC in an interdisciplinary clinic for children with cerebral palsy. MMI is a wonderful place to work.

List three things people may not know about you.

  • I was born and raised in Lancaster, Wis., but I went to undergrad and grad school in South Dakota.
  • I am a proud aunt to three adorable nieces and one cute nephew.
  • My older sister and I are four and a half years apart but we get mistaken for twins by everyone who meets us!
