Database Administrator

Years on the NLS team: 1979-present

Role: I started at CHRR as THE data entry operator. Surveys, programs, etc. were paper and pencil in those days. I keyed all the documentation, updates for the NLSY79, the NLSY97 and the NLS Bibliography until everything was fully digitalized. Now I click, swipe, scan and run apps.

What innovations have I helped introduce to the NLS

Because my job depended on accuracy and speed, I was always figuring out ways to do complete jobs with the highest proficiency possible. I would and still do make suggestions to my peers on how to speed up the process.

Why am I proud to be part of the NLS team

The NLS Team is a team. Real people working together as a supportive group to achieve the same goal - keep the NLS going!

This site was created at the Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR) at The Ohio State University to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS). The NLS is a program of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. CHRR has conducted the NLS since the program began in 1965, in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau (from 1965 to 2003) and NORC at the University of Chicago (from 1978 to the present).
