WaveMakers in Medicine

Four employees from Tulane University School of Medicine are being recognized for their outstanding work. Each of the employees listed below recently earned the “Staff Kudos of the Month” award.

Bethany Barnoski is the Marketing & Communications Manager for the Tulane Center for Clinical Neurosciences and Tulane Institute of Otolaryngology. One of Bethany’s colleagues had this to say: “Since Bethany has started, she has been a delight to work with! She brings a lot of happy energy to the office that I did not know we needed. She is always there when I need some advice professionally or personally. She is a wonderful colleague, and I am happy she is here!”

Quintrele Jones is a Clinical Research Coordinator in the Tulane Center for Clinical Neurosciences. The person who nominated her got right to the point: “Incredible worker.”

Hunter Murray, the Senior Clerkship Coordinator, rounds out the list of honored employees at the Tulane Center for Clinical Neurosciences. Her colleague writes this: “Hunter Murray has been an exceptional Neurology clerkship coordinator. She is organized, responsive, and consistently goes above and beyond for students—whether delivering a parking pass while I was on call, resolving IT issues, or providing compassionate support during a stressful retake of an exam. Her kindness, professionalism, and reliable communication have made a meaningful difference in our experiences. Hunter is a true advocate for students, and her dedication is deeply appreciated.”

Javier Pineda, now a Specialist of Talent Development in the Tulane University Office of Human Resources, was also nominated for Staff Kudos of the Month during his time at the School of Medicine. A colleague says, “Javier always has an enthusiastic and chipper attitude, bringing the mood up in every room he enters. He’s an excellent educator and continues to provide assistance with the Pediatrics Clerkship program despite moving to Tulane HR. He wants to see everyone succeed and feel their best- overall an excellent person to meet and interact with.”
