Howl About You

Employee Spotlight Series

NC State employs more than 8,000 employees who work across a multitude of colleges, divisions, departments, offices and units that spread across the state. Even though some of us have developed close professional relationships and friendships with colleagues, for many of us getting to know anyone other than our daily co-workers is difficult. That’s why we’ve created Howl About You, a page where we shine a spotlight on our employees by letting them share five facts about themselves. As you read the entries on Howl About You, we hope you discover someone who shares the same professional or personal interests as you and make a connection with them. 

Learn how to participate in Howl About You!

I have earned two degrees at NC State: a bachelor’s degree in Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management in 2006 and a Master of Business Administration in 2022.

I spent 10 years working on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers as the “FunBoss.”

I love to play disc golf. I was on the NC State Ultimate Frisbee team as an undergrad.

I played drums in a ska band while in high school and was on the percussion line in the Power Sound of the South at NC State.

I spent a summer internship as a tour guide on Mount Fuji in Japan.

How To Participate

We’d love for you to submit five facts about yourself so we can share them on our website and/or in Howl You Know, the HR newsletter. Just fill out this form, and our communications team will review your submission for publication. If you have questions or know of an employee who would be great for us to spotlight, send an email to [email protected] and write Howl About You in the subject line.
