Tell us a bit about what you do here at UNMC.
I am the clinical education associate in the physical therapy department. A portion of my job is to assist in setting up students with their clinical rotations. In addition, I also arrange the affiliation agreements with the clinical locations. I am also the finance support for several departments within Bennett Hall.

“Commitment to excellence” is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed this commitment at UNMC.

I have not been here very long, but there have been numerous times I have witnessed commitment to excellence. It is difficult to point out just one. There have been several occasions where I have witnessed teamwork, where someone just took the lead to get something done or by simply adding new ideas to create a smoother process. It is refreshing to see this commitment. I am fortunate to work with a great group of people here in Bennett Hall.

What is your favorite winter activity?

There is absolutely nothing that I enjoy about winter. It is always too cold! I suppose the snow can be a pretty sight at times — when you do not have to go out in it.

List three things people may not know about you.

• I have been to or through several states — at least 21 of them. I have even lived in Florida, California, and Arizona and still somehow managed to end up in Iowa, where it is cold.
• I love “The Fast and the Furious” movie franchise. Even more than my husband does.
• I am extremely afraid of spiders.
