Jessica Price has joined UVAFinance as a Sourcing Specialist in Procurement and Supplier Diversity Services and has thus far enjoyed the team atmosphere and camaraderie.

 

Just prior to coming to UVA, Jessica was a Sourcing Specialist with Community Coffee. She managed purchasing of everything from branded cups, to retail teas, to branded apparel. With UVAFinance, she’s focused on purchasing scientific discovery products and services, as well as software.

 “Accepting this position with UVA as fully remote, I expect there may be some challenges as a learning their new position and duties,” she says. “To face them, I’ve dedicated a working space within my home to keep me focused and in the same mindset I’d have while working within an office.” Jessica reports that so far, the virtual orientation and transition has been seamless and she has enjoyed how pleasant and welcoming her team has been.

Jessica received a Bachelor of General Studies degree from Southeastern Louisiana University and outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her daughter and family.

She also enjoys cooking, practicing tarot, and keeping up with the astrology of the world.
