Business Operations Manager
What made you apply to work at UNMC?
I joined the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2022, after graduating college. Prior to my arrival to the Department of Psychiatry, I was fortunate enough to spend time with the Department of Radiology as well as the Department of Neurosurgery. I have been extremely fortunate to begin my professional career at the University of Nebraska Medical Center– I have truly had a rewarding experience while gaining an even deeper understanding and appreciation for the care provided to the region. I have built extraordinary relationships with individuals at all levels of the institution and I know that I want to continue to pursue a professional career at UNMC.
Why are you interested in working in behavioral healthcare?
Behavioral healthcare continues to demonstrate its importance within the healthcare landscape. The Department of Psychiatry has really worked to establish itself within the University of Nebraska Medical Center as a vital, trusted, and respected area of medicine. I was thrilled to bring my administrative skills to the department and continue to build on the well-laid foundation developed under Dr. Howard Liu.
What goals do you have for your position?
My goal when taking on the Business Operations Manager role was to continue to provide high-level support to the fantastic faculty and providers within the Department of Psychiatry. It has been a unique opportunity to learn about the department’s growth in recent years and to understand the impactful service that the department provides to the community. I believe the best way to show true compassion and care is to let providers dive into their work. I would like to continue supporting the department’s activities to the best of my ability and help ensure a seamless healthcare experience for patients.
What are your hobbies when you’re not working?
When I’m not working, I’m typically spending time with my dogs, friends, and family. I was born and raised just outside of Omaha, so the metro is definitely home for me. I tend to venture out into Omaha on the weekends. I like to take part in the unique yearly activities that Omaha has to offer, and I love to go out for food and coffee. I am also lucky enough to be an uncle of three, which takes up a significant portion of my free time. I do enjoy traveling and try to take an international trip every two years. I tend to stay busy with all of life’s constant chaos!
