Employee Spotlight

Office of Research - Denee' Clifford - Senior Grants Specialist (Click to read more)

Denee’ grew up in a place we know as Bel Aire, Kansas today. She got a B.S. in Business Management (Major: Finance, Minors: Accounting and Economics) from Brigham Young University. Following college, she moved to Irvine, California and spent 16 years working as an accountant in the Real Estate industry. Later she returned home to Kansas to live near her family. Her second career began in 2008 as a Research Administrator, initially hired in WSU’s Office of Research as an accountant. A year later she transitioned to a grants administrator position where she has been ever since. Her longevity is due to the fact that her work is never boring to her. She enjoys working with a variety of people and subjects every day. Her work is focused primarily on supporting faculty from all colleges at WSU. Her goal is always to develop a proposal that is worthy of funding. When she is not at work, you will find her spending time with family and friends, involved in her church activities, or watching a good “Hallmark” movie.
