Unit: Office of Sponsored Programs
Title: Grants Coordinator II
Bio: After moving to Nebraska in 2016 to pursue my PhD in Geology, I have spent the past decade in the University of Nebraska system—first as a student, then two years as faculty, and now three years as staff. In my current role on the Office of Sponsored Programs Pre-Award team, I’ve gained a deep appreciation for the research enterprise and the incredible people who keep it running smoothly.
After a year of significant changes and cuts at UNL—and across the nation—I’ve become increasingly passionate about using my voice to support my colleagues. My goal is to foster meaningful connections and help build a workplace grounded in mutual trust, respect, and collaboration.
