What is your role at UPHS – Marquette?
I am the Supply Procurement & Distribution Clerk at UP Health System – Marquette.
What was your inspiration for getting into healthcare?
My Uncle Keith, who was the director of bulk stores here, piqued my interest in healthcare, and I owe it to him for getting me rolling on the path I'm on. I really love my job!
What’s a typical day like for you? What is it like working in this field?
My days spent here are very busy! I put in a lot of walking miles every day, stocking IV's and the various clean utility rooms throughout the hospital.
How long have you been employed here? Have you always been in the same position?
I started here in Housekeeping in 1983. After that, I held a variety of positions in Dietary, the Printshop and Pharmacy before finally settling in Bulk Stores.
What are some of the significant changes you have experienced in this position?
Computers have really changed over the last 40 years! They make things a lot easier now than they used to be in the "analog" days.
What are some of your interests outside of work? What is your favorite local gem?
I love the woods, whether it's hunting or just walking through them and being in nature. I also enjoy kayaking, fishing and Lake Superior, my local gem.
What do you enjoy most about working at UPHS – Marquette?
The people, of course! The social aspect of my job is what keeps me working every day with a smile.
