Hall Joins WUOT

When UT Internal Auditor Elizabeth Hall conducted WUOT's audit earlier this year, she probably didn't think she'd be making a career change. But now the auditor has become the audited!

In mid-August, Elizabeth joined WUOT as the station's business manager. In that role, she is a member of the management team and is in charge of the station's financial operations.

A certified public accountant, Elizabeth has been with UT since 2007, when she joined the staff as a residence hall director. For a little over four years, she has conducted internal and performance audits. Prior to joining the university, she worked as a staff auditor and a staff tax accountant.

Elizabeth holds a master's degree in accountancy and a bachelor's degree in business administration from UT. She also has completed work toward a doctorate in school psychology.

In her free time, this Knoxville native enjoys hanging out with her crazy kids, William (six years old) and Annie (19 months), and her husband, Ben Sharbel. She also enjoys traveling, running, taking classes in just about everything UT offers, and real estate. Welcome, Elizabeth!
