My workdays are filled mostly with money-related projects for University Marketing & Communications. I track accounting information for three Cost Centers in Workday and then 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.
I have a reputation for figuring out workflow and solving riddles. The suppliers providing goods/services know me as someone dedicated to timely payment of their invoices and willing to research a question. Campus partners, with whom we coordinate finances, receive detailed support documents from me which aid in their own budget tracking. Clear communications with colleagues in here in MarComm, Purchasing, and Accounts Payable are also a priority.
April of 2023, I transitioned to being semi-retired, working primarily on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. My days off and weekends are filled mostly with creating one-of-a-kind sewing projects, playing in the dirt, spending time with four generations of family, and chilling out in our new surroundings (after moving to a small town in 2022) with my husband who is retired.
