The one thing I love most about my job is the people I work with in Edwards Hall and Tillman. They are a super group of people!

I know this sounds cliché but every day has something interesting about it. Whether it’s completing special projects or catching up with work colleagues or networking with others across campus, all these make for an interesting day.
