New faces join USN staff

Join us in welcoming Alumni Director Christina Evans, School Nurse Katelyn Love, 19th Avenue Receptionist Tiara Horton, and Controller Holly Poff to USN.
By Ian Dinkins, Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications

Alumni Director Christina Evans comes to USN’s Development Office after spending years as a parent (Jackson ‘22 and Ansley '25) to two students at the school. Her passion for education and USN led her back to the school, and we’re excited to have her in the building. Evans enjoys making an impact in the school community and watching her Atlanta Braves.

Health Room Team Member Katelyn Love comes to USN’s Health Room after a previous stop at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Love graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and is studying to get her doctorate in nursing from Belmont University. When she isn’t studying or working at USN, she enjoys playing badminton and is a big fan of Phantom of the Opera. Love was also an equestrian horseback rider for over five years. 

19th Avenue Receptionist Tiara Horton has already been a part of the USN community with two children (Layden '33 and LayLah '37) and husband Dee Horton (Operations) already roaming the halls of USN. Horton comes to USN after a stint at the Tennessee Department of Revenue. She is studying Business Management at Nashville State Community College and loves to decorate and create shirts in her free time.

Controller Holly Poff brings over 25 years of experience in finance and accounting leadership, specializing in the health care industry. As a hands-on executive, Poff has managed large teams, spearheaded acquisitions, and led strategic financial decisions. She holds an MBA from the University of Kentucky and is an active CPA. Poff enjoys watching sports (UK, Notre Dame, Preds, and Titans (not currently enjoying, she said), traveling, crossword puzzles, reading, and trivia. Her husband's name is Chad, who, like Poff, is a native Nashvillian, and they have two kids, Aidan (age 17) & Court (age 13).
