Purchasing recently hired two full time Help Desk Consultants who are dedicated and looking forward to helping with your purchasing needs. These fine folks review all Support Form submissions and BUY.IU comments involving the Purchasing Help Desk email address, as well as invoices that route to a Buy Desk workflow stop. If they can address the question or issue at hand, they will jump in and provide support. If not, they’ve been tasked with getting the request to the right member of the broader Purchasing team.
You may already know them from their previous Buy Desk roles.
Blake Brown
Hello! My name is Blake Brown and I have been with the University since 2008. I started working with the Purchasing department in 2016 as one of the IT Purchasing Representatives.
A little about me: my family and I enjoy all things spooky. My wife and I were married on Halloween in 2009. We have two wonderful, albeit crazy, children. In my free time I like to create my own Halloween props for our outdoor yard display. Yeah, I am that weird Halloween guy in the neighborhood. It has gotten so bad, that we had to rent a storage unit just to hold all the decorations! I know, I have a problem 😊
I look forward to working with all of you and assisting you with your Purchasing needs!
Misty Millis
Hi there! I’m Misty Millis and I’ve been with Indiana University for four years as a Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) Institutional Purchasing Representative prior to starting this exciting new position as a Customer Service Consultant.
My husband, Jake, and I have three children: Julian, age 12, Lucie, age 13, and Ellie, age 19. We’re also home to three black cats, Onyx, Opal, and Obsidian, our bearded dragon, Leo, and our bunny, affectionately called Bunners.
For fun, I like to read, play Scrabble, cook (and eat!) good food, and do creative projects at home. I love working with people and solving the puzzles presented when working the CRM Help Desk.
