Favorite thing about UNMC: The operation is efficient, the team is caring and helpful and I like my hours — 5 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Three things you don’t know about me:

  • I was once jogging around Benson Park when a man who was fishing fell into the pond, and I saved his life.
  • I am an avid singer. I used to sing with my church and family members — I still sing a little bit.
  • I love comedy. I’m a big Laurel & Hardy fan.

    Grace, who works on the fourth floor of the Lied Transplant Center is wonderful! Families, many with small children, may be staying in the Lied for extended periods of time. Grace's caring attitude is so evident in every encounter with them and the children love her! Thank you Grace!

    Mary , who works with us in the head and neck surgery clinic is always cheerful, greeting everyone when they come in in the morning. This is so nice, because you don't always have smiles during the work day. She is always willing to go above and beyond when we ask her to do something or if we have a concern about something. She takes pride in her work. She is a blessing !

    Jane on the 5th floor of Leid transplant center is amazing. This is our cooperative care unit. Patients and their families love her, they always have wonderful things to say about her. She is caring towards them all, takes time to talk with them and meet their needs. Thanks Jane!

    All of the Environmental Service employees are a very important part of the safety program. They keep the floors clean preventing slips and falls from the stuff people track in, they clean the facility which keeps people healthy. In the 4230 Building, Zonia and Craig are constantly working to make sure the facility is cleaned. They take pride in their work. I know this is also the case across the campus with the hundreds of other dedicated EVS employees who work hard to make us all look good. Thanks to all, for your hard work which helps keep the campus clean and safe.
