About Tammy
What is your go-to meal in the area? There isn't a bad restaurant in Davidson, so it's hard to choose! My go-to’s in town are Masala Mastee or Sully’s Steamers, and I love the chicken pesto pizza at Novanta 90 Pizzeria at exit 31.
What is an activity or hobby you do outside of work? I am an enthusiastic yet fledgling birder. My by-ear knowledge of birds is limited, but there is a great Merlin app that figures everything out for me. I am dying to check out the song bird lab on campus!
Why Davidson? The people of the Davidson 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 would you spend a spare afternoon in the Lake Norman or 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.
