Author: The Crusader Staff Writers
There are many new faces on campus this semester including an Internship Coordinator, Coordinator of Accessibility Services, and Academic advisor. Welcome to the college!
Jenny Johnson
Internship Coordinator
I am excited to be a part of the Belmont Abbey community and serve in the Career Services department. I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in Marketing. After working in the business sector for several years and much self-reflection, I moved into the education field. I earned a Master of School Administration degree from UNC-Charlotte, became a school administrator, and have happily worked in various levels of education for 25 years. As you may have guessed from my original career change, I struggled with finding the right career for me, like many of you. When I matched my business interests with my purpose, helping others learn and reach their greatest potential, I found fulfillment in my career. I have always enjoyed working with students directly, which led me to my position at the Abbey. I would love to hear your story and help you explore your interests and purpose to help you find the best career path to share your God-given talents with the greater community.
I invite you to connect with our office no matter where you are on your college and career path. Please don’t wait until you are a senior to find out about all the services we offer! We can provide you with various resources to help you throughout your college experience and as you move into your career. Having trouble declaring a major, we can help!
Need some extra cash? Let us help you connect with local employers and gain experience for your resume. Does your major require an internship? Career Services supports the internship search and approval process. Ready to start your career? We can help you make the most of the opportunities available.
Whether you aren’t sure where to start or have a plan in place, I would love to meet you. Our offices are located in the New Residence Hall to the left after you enter the building. You can find me in Office 108!
Carrie Minnich
Coordinator of Accessibility Services
Carrie is the new Coordinator of Accessibility Services and a Professional Academic Advisor for Belmont Abbey College. She joins the staff here after retiring from Gaston County Schools, where she worked for thirty years as a teacher of Exceptional Children, a school administrator, and the Executive Director of the Department for Exceptional Children. She enjoys her role at the Abbey, especially the time she spends with students and teaching a First Year Experience class.
Carrie has been married to her husband, David, for 32 years and is mom to Allie (28), John (21,) and her Goldendoodle, Sam (4). She loves living in Gaston County, where she can enjoy outdoor activities, great restaurants, and beautiful changes in the seasons.
Brittany Kuznitz
Academic Advisor
I am the Abbey’s newest Academic Advisor! I have been advising for 6 years and I’m originally from Fulton, NY. I am an alumna of Nazareth College (BS Communication Sciences & Disorders) and Canisius College (MS College Student Personnel Administration). Outside of work I love spending time with my husband, AJ, and our two dogs, Tucker & Bayley. I am also in a bowling league and my happy place is reading on the deck of our family beach house in Oak Island, NC!
