<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to reach out and let you all know that I have taken a position at the University of Arizona Cancer Center. My last day working for the School of Plant Sciences will be Friday, May 3<sup>rd</sup>, 2024. I have been working with
Janis, Dr. Brown since April 22<sup>nd</sup> to plan a smooth as possible transition of my job duties.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This was not an easy decision as I love my job and the work, but I want more of a work life balance. I appreciate all that I have learned in my short time at the School of Plant sciences and the opportunity to work with all of you.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Amanda Stevens, Assistant Director of Operations for CALES, whom most everyone knows, and Kevin Teres, the Manager of Business and Administration in ENVS will be taking over my workload. I am in communication with them to ensure they
are up to date and have all relevant details on any pending issues that I have been working with on. I know Amanda and Kevin will do a great job given a difficult situation while still doing there already assigned workload.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been asked multiple times by many faculty and others what can be done to assist the business office so that it is more efficient and effective. The biggest thing that slows down the business office in being able to stay on top of
the large workload is the time taken to follow up on transactions to obtain documents, additional information, or clarification. Only about 50% of what is submitted to the business office is complete and can be processed as is without any additional action.
When sending in your requests for payment and Pcard documents please include the required information.
