Describe your job and what you do at UNC Charlotte. 

The Bursar’s Office manages student accounts, ensuring students' charges and payments are completely and accurately reflected on their accounts. As the university bursar, I focus on strategic planning and development of student financial policies and procedures. 

What’s your favorite part about being at UNC Charlotte? 

I enjoy working with a dedicated team of professionals in the Bursar’s Office and partnering with a breadth of other University departments to provide the highest level of service to our students. No two days are the same. 

What is something you’re most excited about for the fall semester? 

The students are the pulse of our University, and I looked forward to their return to campus. It’s a special environment to be part of.

When you’re not on campus, what are some things you do in your free time? 

I enjoy distance running and spending time with my family. With children at the ages of 1 and 3, that’s often the same activity. 

What’s a place on campus you think every student should visit? 

Every student should visit the Financial Literacy and Well-Being Office. Financial literacy education is an invaluable resource, and I believe every student can benefit from their services.
