How Did You Find Your Way into Higher Ed Risk Management

What Motivated You to Volunteer with URMIA
The Belonging Committee spoke to me!
What's One Small Action That's Made a Big Difference in Your Risk Management Work
Building relationships. When stakeholders see me as a partner, they are more likely to involve me early in the decision-making process rather than at the end when it's too late to pivot.
What's Your Favorite Way to Unwind Outside of Work?
Spending time with my grandchildren (ages 5, 4, 3, 2 & a baby due in July)!
What's a Favorite Campus Tradition at Your Institution
Silly for Soup & Batty for Bars. This event, held annually on Halloween, raises money for our Student Crisis Fund. Food, live music, a pumpkin decorating contest, and a silent auction. This event is a lot of fun and helps support our most vulnerable students.
