I became a Research Administrator in 2008. Previously I worked as a Program Manager on a grant at another institution and then later became a grant writing consultant. I loved working with grants but no necessarily the writing and happened upon a job description at Emory. It seemed like a perfect mesh of my experience and what I wanted to learn how to do. With careful training from another experienced analyst, I began to realize that I had made the right choice! Been here at Emory in different capacities and titles ever since. 🙂
