Community and Therapeutic Recreation
Ms. Ball received a Bachelor of Science degree in Community and Therapeutic Recreation in 2002 with a specialization in travel, tourism, and commercial recreation.
A course on Meeting and Event Planning and Management launched her into an exciting career as an event planner. Now in her sixteenth year in that profession, she is the owner/operator of Knot your Average Events with a staff of eight which includes two event coordinators, and six assistants.
She generously accepts interns from our Community and Therapeutic Recreation program and also provides shadowing experiences for them. Ms. Ball is a state coordinator for the North Carolina Chapter of the Association of Bridal Consultants and an executive board member for the Triad Bridal Association.
She shares her passion for event planning by being an adjunct professor at both Alamance Community College and our School of Health and Human Sciences. She is an accomplished mixologist through the Professional Bartending Institute and still holds a record for 24 mixed drinks in 8 minutes. Ms. Ball is truly a “Jill of all Trades” when it comes to life and career.
