Listen to this workshop via telephone or connect to the webcast online. Register

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This cause is special to many, as just about everyone knows someone affected by breast cancer in some way. Here at KUSM–W, we hold the cause dear as well. The KU Center for Breast
Cancer Survivorship (CBCS) is currently utilizing Komen grant money to provide consultations with our dietician and a time-limited gym membership for breast cancer survivors, including “LIVESTRONG at the Y” which is a supervised exercise program for cancer survivors. The Survivorship team is able to provide an individualized assessment for the potential short- and long-term side effects of treatment and recommendations for care, and works collaboratively with the survivor and their health care teams to share this information. Community involvement is at the heart of any cause, and this one is no exception. At the recent Komen Race for the Cure, for the second year in a row, KU partnered with the Plastic Surgery Center to form “Team KUPS,” with more than 20 registered including staff from both agencies and survivors. Other community involvement includes supporting and hosting public educational sessions. “Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer” is a two-part series from 12:30-1:30 p.m., Oct. 11 and Oct. 25. The first session addresses “Progress in the Treatment of
How long have you worked at KUSM–W, and what was your job before
you came here? Just a little over a year. Before I worked at KUSM–W, I worked at Kansas State
University doing computer technical support repairing laptops and desktops for
students and faculty.
What are your job responsibilities and what do you like most about your job? Supporting the faculty, staff, and students and ensuring they can be successful using
the available technologies. Whether it’s a problem with a smart phone, a
computer, or a piece of software, I help them through it all. What I most like
about my job is working with people. It seems like anyone I talk with is like family.
We are all willing to help each other out. The relationships I build with people are
important to me.
If you have taken the Strengths Finder Assessment, what are your top 5
Strengths and how do you use them in your job? Analytical, Achiever, Communication, Adaptability, and Relator. Analytical is on the
top of the list because of how I think things through when it comes to anything.
Making a decision, I have to know each option and choose the best one. When it
comes to finding a solution to a problem that deals with technology, I think it
through carefully. That also applies to everyday life situations. Achiever is second
and applies to how I want to follow through with things. I don’t like spending too
much time talking about doing something, but rather I want to jump into it
immediately and figure it out. Communication is a big one, as I can form my
thoughts and explain them thoroughly to someone so they can understand what I
am doing. Adaptability is my laid back approach of going with the flow. I am open
to better and more efficient ways of doing things. Finally, Relator is where I enjoy
having close relationships with others. I enjoy working hard with others who share
the same goal. I am very straightforward to people and show them that I am
honest, loyal, and reliable.
What do you do in your spare time? I enjoy spending time with my friends, catching up on several TV shows I’m
currently hooked to, and watching my favorite sports teams live or on TV.
What’s a favorite movie and/or book? Pretty tough to choose just one, but I suppose it would be “Fight Club.” Also, the
top movies that I can generally watch over and over would be “Seven,” “Office
Space,” and “The Matrix.”
Who is your hero or the person you most admire and why? My father would be my primary hero in my life. He’s shown me that hard work
pays off. Everything he has worked for, he has earned for himself and our family.
He started out with nothing and has worked hard for the things he wants in life.
He is not selfish and will always put others before himself.
