Awards

Graves, Birke and Nichols announced as Neurology Staff Employees of the Quarter

Staff Employee of the Quarter - Q1 FY25

The Department of Neurology congratulates three staff members for being awarded the Neurology Staff Employees of the Quarter for Q1 FY25. The department accepts nominations for three award categories to highlight the dedication and accomplishments of our staff members — clinical, research and administration.

Clinical Staff Employee of the Quarter

Lisa Aten

Administrative Coordinator
General Neurology & Headache Medicine

Lisa is beyond knowledgeable about her division, her providers, her peers, her patients and everything in-between. She can not only handle anything that is thrown at her (which can range from the mundane to insane), but she does so with professionalism that is strikingly admirable. Lisa is a great co-worker, employee, and all-around person who deserves recognition for everything that she does (which is A LOT!). 

Research Staff Employee of the Quarter

Drusilla Jenkins

Project Manager
Gutmann Research Laboratory

Dru does so much work to keep the administration end of our lab incredibly smooth-running and efficient. She works hard to make the lab an inviting and comfortable setting (despite the fact we have no windows) by decorating for every upcoming holiday. She is also always there to lend an ear, and is someone I really trust in the lab. Thank you, Dru, for all you do!!

Administration Staff Employee of the Quarter

Karma Kerns

Senior Research Administrator
Head of Pre-Award Group

Karma is a great asset to the department and the research administration team. Not only is she an advocate for her direct reports, she is always willing to help all her team mates. Thanks Karma, we appreciate you !
