Alumni Association Spotlight: Elaine Price

“My story began in May of 2001 when the company that had employed me for 26 years closed and I was allowed to attend Nash through the Workforce Investment Act funding and the TAA program. I was 48 years old when I entered college for the first time. While attending Nash I completed three degrees: Information systems, Office Systems and Accounting. Due to the mentorship of my accounting professor, Lee Parker, I applied and was accepted to NC State for the 2004 Fall semester. While at NC State, I worked a co-op with IBM and upon graduation in December 2006 was hired by IBM as a Financial Analyst. On June 2, 2008 I began working for ABB in Cary, NC. During my 5 and 1/2 years with ABB, I have moved through the ranks as a financial analyst, a senior financial analyst, and as a supervisor in the General Accounting department.” Elaine Price, NCC Alumna
