“I was surprised, but humbled, and extremely appreciative,” Walker said. “It’s such an honor. I’m just thankful to be able to work in a field where I can support students in reaching their goals. I hope to continue to contribute for years to come.”

Deanna Knighton, President of the North Carolina Career Development Association and Career Development Specialist at Made in �鶹Ӱ��, presented Walker with the award.

“Christy is an exemplar career services professional,” as stated in the letter nominating Walker. “I have enjoyed working with her multiple teams throughout the years and have especially appreciated her analytical skills, teamwork, collaborative spirit, and students-first mentality.”
