ORA Employee Spotlight
Mitzi Jones, our Staff Assistant, recently celebrated her 7th year anniversary with the ORA. Mitzi provides administrative support to the management team for ORA, and her long and varied experience has afforded her the opportunity to train most of the new administrative secretaries for many years. As a seasoned member of the ORA administrative staff, she is also integrally involved with many special projects often regarding file maintenance and storage, and database maintenance. Mitzi was an OUHSC Employee of the Month in FY 2008, is a loyal employee to the OUHSC, and is a huge OU fan. Boomer!
