Shannon Thomsen is the UNMC College of Medicine employee of the month.

  • Name: Shannon Thomsen
  • Title: Research/office associate
  • Hometown: Goddard, Kansas

What I like best about my job: It may be the best mix of responsibilities I have ever had. I help market our department and its 11 divisions through our newsletter, our department report and on Twitter. We have a great team, and I know I can always count on everyone without a doubt.

I also am responsible for several research reports that show how well our research group does from grants to publications. One thing I really enjoy though is the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP/SUARP). I have met some wonderful undergrad students from around the country that are excited about research and have some great stories of their own.

List three things people may not know about you:

  • I have moved 22 times in my life.
  • My husband and I have a dog, Bailey, and she is 17!
  • I was a drum major in high school and we performed at the Bluebonnet Bowl.
