Nancy Curry
Title: Software support specialist, “but I’d prefer
to be known as ‘the person who helps with Microsoft Office tools.’”
Job Focus: Offers weekly classes open to anyone at The Scripps
Research Institute (TSRI). Also assists individuals on an ad hoc basis.
Expertise: Software including the Microsoft Office suite (Word,
Excel, PowerPoint) Acrobat, Eudora, and Netscape.
Departmental Affiliations: Human Resources, Research Computing.
Best Part of her Job: "There are so many software commands and
procedures that are not documented. It’s like a game for me to figure
out how to get things done. It’s a great feeling to figure out a
trick works the same way in more than one program. And I like helping
people, too."
Background: Curry has been in the training field much of her
career. She started working at TSRI in March 1999.
Hobbies: Lots of crafts, including beadwork, lapidary work (grinding
and polishing stones), silver work, crocheting—"but not sewing. I
don’t like having a sewing machine between me and what I’m working
on."
