I appreciate the laid-back environment where my energy can be focused on work instead of the pressure of a high-stress workplace.
Meet Emily Bennin! Emily was a student employee for the chemistry department during her undergrad program at UW–Madison. She taught middle school English in Philadelphia, PA before returning to the department in the fall of 2020. Her job as a financial specialist primarily focuses on ShopUW+ purchasing of any dollar amount and she recently started working on post-award accounting. Along with enjoying the laid-back vibe of the office she says, “Of course, my coworkers make it fun every day!” Beyond work, Emily explained that her COVID hobby was crocheting and she has enjoyed doing a lot of that (and other creative activities like scrapbooking) in the last few years. Her primary hobby? “Reading,” she says. “Classic English major!”
