Tell us about your career at Emory.

Throughout my career at Emory, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to several departments and roles. I began as a Human Resources Receptionist, where I handled a range of administrative tasks and supported HR functions. Following that, I transitioned to a Billing Specialist role, where I managed billing operations and ensured accurate financial documentation. Each position provided unique challenges and learning experiences, allowing me to develop a broad skill set.

What are some of your favorite Emory memories?

Among my favorite memories are social events we held, such as the parties where we could invite our spouses. These gatherings were wonderful opportunities to connect with colleagues and their families in a relaxed and enjoyable setting, fostering a strong sense of community.

What are some of the most significant changes you've witnessed?

One of the most notable changes has been the transformation of the campus itself. The development of new buildings and enhancements to existing facilities have significantly improved the campus environment, making it more modern and functional. It’s been exciting to witness these physical changes, reflecting the university’s growth and progress.

What do you miss from “back in the day”?

I miss Emory Night at Six Flags. It was a fantastic tradition that allowed us to enjoy a fun, relaxing evening at the amusement park with our colleagues. It was a great way to unwind and build camaraderie outside of the work environment.

What do you hope for the future of Emory?

I hope Emory continues to grow and evolve while maintaining its commitment to excellence in education and community. I look forward to seeing further advancements in campus facilities, innovative programs, and continued support for both students and staff.
