NACS undertakes few projects more complex and demanding than creating the telecommunications infrastructure in each new building.  NACS has recently hired Stacey Rose as Assistant Project Manager under Communications Projects manager Diane Dunn.

Stacey found her way into the IT industry when she returned to school after a few years working as sales manager for the Desert Sun in Palm Springs.  She has worked in large corporations as technician, desktop support manager, and in project management.  Her position in NACS shifts her attention from computers and their software to the links that connect them.

Stacey’s approach to Project Management is understanding the “Big Picture” of each project, and also trying to be flexible.  Project management here at UCI is different from project management with an outside company.  The PMI methodology which provides a rigid structure that works in industry needs to be adjusted in this dynamic environment, with a heavy project load and limited resources.  Stacey says she is happy to be a part of NACS, and enjoying the people she’s working with.
