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.

Jamila Simpson
I grew up in Statesville, North Carolina, in the western part of the state.
I met my spouse when we were both undergraduate students at NC State.
I am the first Black woman to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology from NC State.
I grew up reading comic books and still collect them. My favorite series is X-Men, and my favorite superhero is Storm. She controls the weather, and she’s an amazing leader.
My family and I are working on visiting every state in the country. We keep a family map and put pins in places we visit. So far, we’ve traveled up to Maine, and the furthest south we have gone is Key West, Florida.
