Audrey Booth
Administrative Specialist I
Audrey Booth has been described as the  face of Human Resources, not merely because she has worked in that office for 20 years, but because of her friendly and helpful approach to working with people.
 What does your position entail?
Booth: My main responsibility is to provide support to Tom Gausvik, Associate Vice President for Human Resources, by coordinating meetings and working on special project assignments. I handle payroll for the entire department, order supplies, process check requests and work closely with the business manager on the budget. I also provide support to five Human Resource directors in addition to 40 staff employees in our division.
How did you get your start at UGA?
Booth: I began as a secretary in the administrative office of the University Bookstore in 1989, soon after I graduated from high school. I transferred to Human Resources in 1992 and worked in the employment area. I worked in that section for about six years and then transferred to the associate vice president’s office. I’ve worked under four associate vice presidents: Carlton James, Loretta Harper, Andy Brantley and Tom Gausvik. I’ve been at the University for a total of 24 years and have been at Human Resources for 20 of those years.
