What do I love about working for the college?
As a UT Knoxville graduate, I love having the opportunity to work at my alma mater—and in the same college where I earned my degree. As a lifelong Vol, it is incredibly rewarding to work at a place I have admired and supported. Being part of the university community in this way feels both meaningful and full circle.
I enjoy attending productions at the Clarence Brown Theatre and exploring the vendors and thrifting opportunities along Pedestrian Walkway. These activities help me stay connected to campus life and the vibrant UT community.
What do I do for the college?
My responsibilities include coordinating events from start to finish along with assisting in managing financial processes. Through event planning and financial support, I help faculty, staff, and programs achieve their goals by connecting them with their intended audiences, whether that is students, donors, researchers, or community members. By helping create successful events and ensuring financial operations run smoothly, I contribute to the growth and visibility of programs across the university.
I love being able to help others. My role allows me to be hands-on with a wide variety of events, and no two days are exactly the same. It is especially rewarding to know that the work I do helps create positive experiences for others and contributes to their success and happiness.
