From the Desk Of...
Each month, one staff member from the Department of Internal Medicine will be highlighted in a new staff recognition program called "From the Desk Of..." We are fortunate to have such talented staff members, and we want the rest of the department to get to know "the face behind the email."
April's featured staff member is Heidi Andrew, a Financial Management Analyst for the Division of Hematology.

- What is your favorite motto/quote? Katherine Hepburn said, “Nevertheless,” and that covers it all for me.
- What is the best thing about working at the University of Utah? The people and the atmosphere at the U are fantastic. I can’t imagine a better group of people than the ones I work with directly, both staff and faculty, and the atmosphere is friendly, helpful, and progressive.
- What is your favorite book? Narrowing it down to one is not possible but I loved The Help in fiction, and in non-fiction, Reading Lolita in Tehran.
- Do you have any pets? I have a one-year-old labradoodle named Bridget. We got her when we started working from home so she has had lots of attention. Sadly, my eleven-year-old teacup poodle, Simon, just passed away.
