What projects and tasks are you responsible for on a regular basis?
I provide broad support to DAR colleagues at Mt. Washington North. My responsibilities include supporting the finance and administration teams by scheduling and processing expenses, establishing and maintaining systems and schedules, and overseeing reservations and bookings. I also assist with special events. 

What brought you to Johns Hopkins?
Johns Hopkins University and Medicine is known for finding ways to improve society through research and clinical care. I wanted to be part of this institution because the people here find ways to push boundaries and discover ways to make our communities better places to live and work. 

What do you like most about your job?
My position allows me to work cross-functionally with several areas of Hopkins. It also allows me to learn and connect with people from all different backgrounds. 

What accomplishment are you most proud of?
This past summer, I served as a part of the Mt. Washington Move Committee. The committee was responsible for successfully moving DAR colleagues from the San Martin Center to Mt. Washington North. This project was truly a challenge with many moving parts and hidden obstacles. Thanks to the committee’s hard work and collaboration, we moved hundreds of boxes, multiple teams, and have successfully adapted to our new space.
