Why did you join NUSAC?

After being in my role as the Business Administrator for the department of Computer Science for 5 years, I felt I had the capacity to broaden my involvement in the Northwestern community. It was a happy coincidence that the CS rep for the faculty senate mentioned to me that McCormick did not have a representative on NUSAC. Alignment! 

What is the most important thing your NU staff colleagues should know about NUSAC?

I feel passionately about nurturing a culture at Northwestern that values and acknowledges staff contributions and creates a workplace where staff feel they have a sense of belonging. 

What issue are you most passionate about related to improving the NU experience for staff?

I am glad to see faculty and staff in dialogue on issues that impact all of us, such as health insurance.  Inclusive deliberation and decision-making makes the university more accountable and leads to wiser decisions.   

What do you most enjoy about your work at Northwestern?

The amazing people who choose to be a part of the Northwestern family. 

What is a little-known fun fact about you?

I'm a big dog person, but my cats won't let me have a dog. I get my puppy fix by being a volunteer dog-walker at Wright Way Rescue. If anyone is interested in adopting a dog from WWR and wants to know the real scoop on their personality, let me know!
