Shaundria Williams described herself as an inquisitive, outgoing, and nerdy kid. Growing up in Oxford, North Carolina, she loved science and aspired to be a doctor. When she started college at East Carolina University, she majored in Pre-Med/Biology, but later realized she was living out other people’s dreams and not her own.
“I was a smart kid and everyone told me I should be a doctor so I spent the majority of my formative years in the direction of being a doctor,” she said. “I felt pressure from others to go that route, but I never really thought about what I wanted to do.”
She decided to end her medical doctor pursuit and changed her major to Communications with a concentration in Public Relations before a temporary job after college led her to Human Resources.
She’s never looked back. Williams joined Durham Tech as the Director of Human Resources and Talent Management in November 2021.

Throughout her career, it was important to her that she learned as much as possible from anyone and everyone and grew as much as she could. “I will always be a lifelong learner and absolutely love education,” said Bullock.
