Best part about my job: I love the accounting work, but I like the people I work with the best.

What energizes me at work: The people. In the group I work with, we have a great relationship – it’s like an extended family.

How co-workers describe me: Always willing to help out.

Recipe for success: I always try to be kind and helpful to everyone. I don’t always succeed, but I do try.

I’m really good at: Baking and making candy.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Crocheting. I’m a novice, but I wish I could just sit down and whip out an afghan in no time.

Claim to fame: I was in the 1985 Super Bowl halftime show, “World of Children’s Dreams.”  I’ll never forget that experience.

Hobbies: I like to do arts and crafts, and my husband and I enjoy watching our grandkids’ sports events.

Final note: I have enjoyed my time at UT Southwestern and all of the individuals I have worked with. I treasure the lifelong friends I’ve made here.
