What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?
Every year at the end of the academic year, when the CON community gets together, I have the opportunity to meet all personnel from the different campuses. I have lots of fun while sharing stories and facts with others and I enjoy the sense of community despite the distances between the campuses.
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.
I witness working together every day. When I need help, my coworkers are always ready to lend a hand. We share ideas, solve problems and find solutions to all the opportunities that present themselves.
List three things people may not know about you.
- I like science a lot, specifically everything that has to do with the universe, time and space, quantum physics and E=MC².
- When I was 19 I wrote many poems and now I do not remember where I put them.
- I was developing an idea on how to make a car run on water but I found that someone beat me to it. They used air instead of water, though. I am a dreamer who thinks everything should be simple and free.
