What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?
Offering support to coordinate UNMC’s response to the earthquake in Haiti. It was great to see so many people willing, ready and able to help others in a time of need.
Our four brand values are leadership, commitment to excellence, working together and being a trusted resource. Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC.
Working together. There are many instances I could pull from but I will once again use the memory of Haiti and the team effort that was displayed by people from all over campus to help coordinate all the different aspects to ensure our teams were able to help in Haiti. The experience is something I will never forget.
List three things people may not know about you.
- I love extreme sports such as sky diving.
