I started at Northwestern as a Program Assistant in a University Research Center, later transferred to the Office for Research Administration in 2001, and got promoted to different roles over the years.

I’ve been with the Office for Research since my first day at NU and I absolutely love it having the opportunity to interact with many within the Office for Research and other NU departments. My job includes a variety of tasks which makes it always interesting, and very rewarding helping others with queries, collecting analyzing and fixing data.

Any, we have such a beautiful Evanston Campus.
