How long have you worked at CWRU?

I've worked here for 4 1/2 years, including two years as an employment specialist in central Human Resources.

What does a typical day in your role look like?

A typical day in my role involves heavy communication and collaboration with School of Medicine departmental administrators, human resources administrators and principal investigators on various staff life-cycle workforce management functions. Each day is unique, and I have the opportunity to work with and meet a wide array of staff, doctors, researchers and leaders across multiple departments within the School of Medicine and the university as a whole.

In my prior position as an employment specialist, I worked closely with the School of Medicine Human Resources team and built a great rapport with the team members. I was intrigued by the new processes and advancements that the department had implemented and how the School of Medicine approached and defined its talent acquisition strategies. When a position in the department became available, I was interested in the blend of autonomy the role offered and the mentorship within the School of Medicine.
