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.

It was October 2014 when Durham Tech hosted three Latino Student Success Focus groups to solicit input from the Latino student population. The sessions resulted in a group of five students forming a new student club called Cambiando Caminos, or Changing Paths.
The club was officially formed in January 2015 and has been on a mission to strengthen the identity and presence of Latino students at Durham Tech while providing a sense of place and belonging.
Former club president, Bryan Rodriguez, joined Cambiando Caminos in 2018 as a new student.
“As a Hispanic, I felt welcomed with open arms and in an environment that allowed me to explore the world around me and to be happy about being a Hispanic,” he said. “This club I feel like is a home for me and something that everyone deserves to experience. At the end of the day Cambiando Caminos is a club that changed me into being a better man.”
