Nick Balldelli, Manager

Hometown: Miami, FL
Senior
Major: Financial Accounting

I have worked for TOP for the past year and a half as the call center manager. The role of manager is doing so much for my professional career and my personal growth. I enjoy working here because I feel like I am able to help give back to the University. Talking with parents and alumni gives me an insight into who really makes up UNC Asheville, and what it is they value about our institution.

I am motivated by our goal to secure $100,000 in gifts to help with scholarships and programs that are most important to students. Last year we came very close to reaching that goal and I know it is obtainable this year. I also have goals for the individual callers that require applying what I am learning in my accounting and management courses. My position helps me better understand learning objectives in academics while also developping professional skills.

Major: Political Science

I really believe in the education UNC Asheville offers and by working for the Telephone Outreach Program I am able to really help the school and see my work pay off. I find connecting with people who share my appreciation for this University, and playing a part in securing their donation to be rewarding.
