My workday is filled mostly with money-related projects for University Marketing & Communications. I track accounting information for three Cost Centers in Workday and then do what I can to summarize that data and make it available to colleagues. Some of this financial work coordinates closely with a project management tool that allows for review and comparison.
My traditional approach to overseeing our department’s document retention is being stretched to new dimensions in the cloud-based approach that is represented by Workday.
I have a reputation for figuring out workflow, solving riddles, and hustling for timely payments. I kind of get a kick out of being fluent in the distinct “languages” of the staff in financial services, the suppliers providing goods/services, the campus partners with whom we coordinate finances, and the co-workers in my department.
My non-work world is primarily family-focused. If you put a tracking device on my activity you would soon learn why I wish we all lived a bit closer geographically. My husband, Tony, and I might be responsible for more than our share of wear and tear on the Poplar Street Bridge over the past 15 years, just sayin’.
