Biography

As a pre-audit clerk for OSI’s academic programs, Bruce’s most immediate and recurring tasks include generating per-course instructor and coordinator agreements, approving hours for workers on internal payroll, sending revenue shares to collaborating academic departments and doing purchasing as needed. 

Having reached 18 years of employment at URI in January 2025 (initially as a fiscal clerk), Bruce takes pride in having acquired a decent store of institutional knowledge regarding fiscal matters over those years and applying the knowledge to keep the various processes and procedures moving.

When Bruce is not at work, he enjoys travelling, hiking and fishing.
