What is your role at UP Health System – Marquette?
I am a Technical Analyst at UP Health System – Marquette.
What was your inspiration for getting into healthcare?
I grew up with my parents taking care of my handicapped brothers and learning the importance of that, so I always enjoyed helping out others. I am very happy to have found a niche where I can help others with my skill set.
What’s a typical day like for you? What is it like working in this field?
It can be very hectic most days, with how fast technology changes we are constantly working on projects/maintenance/fixing. No day is the same and there’s always something new to learn.
How long have you been employed here? Have you always been in the same position?
I have been here for just over a year and have held the same position.
What are some of the significant changes you have experienced in this position?
When I first started, we worked on our domain migration from our old system to Lifepoint’s. Now, we are currently gearing up for our change over to a new electronic medical record (EMR) platform called Cerner which will definitely be an exciting change.
What are some of your interests outside of work? What is your favorite local gem?
I enjoy traveling and exploring with my husband, one of our favorite spots to explore is "Old Town" in Negaunee.
What do you enjoy most about working at UPHS – Marquette?
I enjoy that I get to work with such a wide variety of people working in such different jobs. I love learning about what they do here so I can figure out how I can be the best tool for them with their computing experience.
