Tell us a bit about what you do here at UNMC.
I work in the FMP department as a design drafter. I work with a computer-aided drafting program to draw up floor plans for moves and office remodels and whatever other projects I am given that need to be documented. I also assist Dan Grice, the department’s facilities data base manager, in the use of the facility management program.
Commitment to excellence is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed a person or group demonstrate commitment to excellence at UNMC.
The ongoing moves to make way for the new Comprehensive Cancer Center has required a tremendous amount of dedication, teamwork, timing and sometimes diplomacy on the part of the FMP department. The department has worked well together to accomplish these goals.
