Courtney Burton

I joined the College of Health and Human Services at UNC Charlotte in June 2025. Prior to this role, I supported MBA students at Wake Forest University. My undergraduate advising experience includes working with undergraduate students at George Washington University and Agnes Scott College. 

Degrees
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Psychology from Tulane University. I later completed a Middle Grades Teaching Certification at Oglethorpe University and taught 8th grade language arts in Georgia. I hold a Master of Science in Higher Education from Florida State University.

Advice to Students
Your college journey is uniquely yours so I encourage you to embrace it fully! Build meaningful connections, explore new opportunities, and never hesitate to ask questions. The more you engage, the more doors will open.

About Me
Originally from Georgia, I’ve lived and worked in Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia. I’m a foodie and travel enthusiast who enjoys cooking, discovering new restaurants, and exploring both U.S. and international destinations. In my free-time, I enjoy reading novels, attending festivals and live music events, watching sci-fi shows and movies, and listening to political and cultural podcasts. Fall is my favorite season, and I love spending time outdoors when the leaves change and the air gets cooler.
