What is your current role?
I am the Information Systems Manager for The Department of Dermatology. I support the department’s daily information systems technology needs. In a smaller department like Dermatology, we all wear multiple hats, so my work is constantly changing.
What motivated you to pursue this career?
I was motivated by the opportunity to combine working with people and technology. Early in my career, I aspired to work in a higher education and healthcare environment, where I could contribute to education, research, and healthcare. It is rewarding to know that my work helps our Faculty and Staff make the best decisions about the type of technology to use in teaching and research and to know that this work may lead to new discoveries that can benefit society.
Why are you excited about the IITC?
The SMPH IT community is filled with talented individuals who are experts in their respective fields. IITC will hopefully create an opportunity to share the wealth of knowledge, combine our resources, and collectively accomplish more.
What do you hope the unified IITC Team can accomplish together?
The unified IITC Team gives us strength in numbers and allows us to share resources and pool talent. I hope we can keep doing what we have always excelled at by providing our users and departments with local services and support that meet or exceed their current levels of satisfaction.
