December 2022 Employee of the Month - Sandee Moroso-Fela

Sandee Moroso-Fela Named Employee of the Month for December

Sandee Moroso-Fela is Program Manager for the Division of Population Health, Quality Improvement and Implementation Sciences (PopQuIS). She works after hours as needed, which is frequent. She brings a warm spirit to our team as she provides personal encouragement and professional support for our diverse and multidisciplinary research teams. She serves as the glue for our PopQuIS team while serving too as the locus of two federally funded national collaborations. Her mindfulness of individuals needs promotes effective bilateral and multilateral relationships that support the team members and the work product of the various teams.

With the departure of our Operations Director, Sandee has stepped into an acting role with excellent spirit and continued excellence. This work involves managing a demanding multi institutional collaboration that we lead, as well as dealing with our funders and peer collaborators. Without Sandee's excellent work and superior grace this project would be suffering.

I am impressed by Sandee and admire her concomitant devotion to the work and to the people who are accomplishing the work. She brings this at a level that is rare in my experience and she makes me a better manager. She manages up, down, and sideways as needed, solving problems, identifying resources and recognizing when she needs to bring me in and when she can serve best more independently.

This nomination is overdue. Her acceptance of an interim role and her capacity to balance that work and keep us all moving forward across multiple federally funded projects with more than a dozen collaborators is extraordinary and deserves recognition.
