Tell us a bit about what you do here at UNMC.
I am responsible for the accounting aspect in the Center for Continuing Education, which includes balance sheets, reconciliations of ledgers and P-cards, department checkbook, balancing and finalizing of our programs, budgeting, training and wherever else I am needed. What I like best about my department is that it is family-oriented and we are family to each other. What I like about my job are my diverse duties and how people rely on me to keep us out of trouble – lol!

Excellence is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed a person or group demonstrating excellence at UNMC.
As a UNMC employee, I believe that striving for excellence is our top priority!  It ensures that professionalism and quality happens in any job, and it’s what sets us apart. We have everyday people willing to go that “extra mile,” step outside their comfort zone, and be a leader without necessarily having a formal leadership role. This is excellence – this is UNMC!

What is your favorite fall activity?
Fire pit on a cool night roasting hot dogs and s’mores over an open fire.
