Teamwork is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed employees practicing teamwork.
I see teamwork every day at the College of Public Health. We have employees and students from all over the world. This past May, the College of Public Health held a retreat for the entire college. Everybody came together, was respectful of others’ suggestions and opinions, and the retreat was a success.

What is your favorite fall activity?
I like to do ceramics and spend time with my grandkids.

List three things people may not know about you.

  • Working on my second degree — it will be in behavioral science.
  • I’m a licensed cosmetologist.
  • I enjoy jazz music.

    I have the pleasure of working with Sharon in the College of Public Health and she is definitely a team player and very helpful. I can't think of a moment where she has not volunteered to help me with different events here in the college.
