Talk about your job and what you like best about it:

The majority of my time is spent around financials for the department of surgery at UNMC and Nebraska Medicine. I also spend time in human resource activities and operationalizing UNMC and Nebraska Medicine practices and policies into our department. What I enjoy the most about my job is the culture. The faculty, staff and department leadership are moving in the same direction. Culture can be a broad term. Specifically, the selflessness of our employees and openness of being challenged by others without offending makes our department a wonderful place to work. 

List three things people may not know about you:

  • Edward Babe Gomez Avenue is a street in Omaha named after a relative who died in the Korean War. He was awarded the Medal of Honor.
  • Just after turning 21, I won $750 at the casino. The next day, I lost $750 at the casino. Valuable life lesson!
  • I like to joke around (my children call them “dad jokes”). With that, my favorite movie is “Dumb and Dumber,” starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels.
