Abigail Garcia joined Yates in December as Business Operations Manager.  Here’s a brief Q&A to get to know Abigail as she starts her career at Yates!

Where are you coming from?
Following my graduation from Elon University in 2011 with a degree in Mathematics, I worked as the Financial Analyst and Carrier Data Contact for National Agents Alliance in Burlington, NC.

What are your duties at Yates?
My titles are Business Operations Manager & Assistant Membership Director, which means I work with the financial and business affairs of Yates, and I also assist Kim Harrell-Mills, Membership Director, with membership responsibilities.

What’s your personal background with recreation / fitness / sports?
I played lots of backyard/recess sports growing up, but basketball is my main sport. I played 4 years of varsity at Franklin County High School and my AAU team, the Roanoke Stars, made two appearances at the AAU National Tournament throughout my 6 years playing AAU. I also played two years of varsity Tennis in high school. I played just about every intramural sport at Elon University while I was there, and I actually met my husband playing pickup basketball at Elon.

What are you excited about working at Yates/Gtown?
I am excited about the opportunity we have at Yates to meet so many different people from the Georgetown community since our facility services students, fac/staff, and the neighboring community.

Anything other details about you you’d like to share with members/campus community?
My husband, Angel, is the Assistant Director for Residential Education at Georgetown, so we have been living on campus since June 2014.
