Derrick Barrett joined the Meinig School in March as finance lead, working closely with faculty and staff to develop financial reports and forecasts. He also helps hire personnel and manages awards.
Derrick brings business analysis, project management, and organization skills from his prior experience as a financial analyst at Tompkins Financial Institution. There he also served as the system administrator for the Workday Adaptive Planning platform, created accounts, and developed reports and dashboards.
He enjoys working with the team of faculty and staff across the department. When he gets the chance, he loves stepping outside the administrative realm to learn more about the research being conducted by faculty labs.
Hailing from Ithaca, Derrick earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in finance from Ithaca College.
The only “silly” question is the one that goes unasked.
I'd love to own a pizza shop. I consider myself a foodie – food makes me happy, and I know it makes others happy as well. Why not be part of the best of both worlds?
I have two young daughters and love spending time with them. Everything is an adventure with them, and I love seeing things through their eyes. I also enjoy working in my yard and garden. Last but not least, I love football and am an avid J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS fan.
