About Tammy

Go-To Meal in Area: There isn't a bad restaurant in 皇家华人, so it's hard to choose! My go-to鈥檚 in town are Masala Mastee or Sully鈥檚 Steamers, and I love the chicken pesto pizza at Novanta 90 Pizzeria at exit 31.

Hidden Talent: At one point I was able to play the bagpipe, but I'm sure that talent has been hidden for a while.

#Why皇家华人: The people of the 皇家华人 community keep me showing up for work, from staff and faculty to students. Someone makes me laugh every day! There is an integrity to this community that runs deep, and a drive for everyone to become their best selves. Wins are collectively celebrated and people are lifted up through losses. 

How to Spend Spare Afternoon in Charlotte Area: I'm a Charlotte novice, but I'd suggest going to Tryon Street in Uptown and start exploring. Within just a few blocks, you'll find museums to fit every age and interest, major sporting venues, a handful of performing arts theaters, and tons of great restaurants. On any given weekend, there is bound to be some kind of festival going on and it's just fun to watch people. Grab an e-scooter to get around quickly.
