UVAFinance Welcomes Susanna Huang to the Team

Susanna Huang is no stranger to working in higher education. Before joining UVAFinance, she worked as a Finance Analyst at the University of Notre Dame’s Procurement Services Office under the Finance Division. She supported the department with data analysis, forecasting, systems enhancement, and continuous improvement projects. The projects helped create a strategic sourcing methodology that streamlined the internal purchasing process.

Huang started a new chapter of her life in November 2021 at UVAFinance’s PSDS as a Business Systems Analyst. She provides functional support and stabilization to various university software, such as Jaggaer (Marketplace), PaymentWorks, Oracle, and Workday. She is also on the FST team, assisting with the test configuration of Workday, validating data conversions, and designing training documentation. She blends her interest in research and technology into everyday tasks.

“I am super lucky to be part of this large, vibrant team. With supportive team members, I hope to make a positive difference for our department and the university.” 

Huang is particularly impressed by the customer service-oriented and mission-driven mindset of the team.

“I hope everyone embraces the significant change from Oracle to Workday and sees it as an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of UVAFinance.”

Huang graduated from Mount Holyoke College in May 2017, majoring in Economics, and minoring in Business. Having lived in several states, she has a deep understanding of diversity and the distinct cultures of different regions. Her hobbies include listening to music, watching historical dramas, keeping up with world affairs, and going to the gym. She believes that continuous learning and improvement are crucial to staying ahead of the curve.
