Sue Ott-Secretary

Sue Ott sits behind the desk in the front office of the School of Music, greeting whomever may enter. She has worked as an administrative assistant for the School of Music for five years. Her previous seven years were spent as an administrative assistant in the theatre department. She answers phone calls, helps direct visitors in the right direction, schedules appointments, files paper work and does whatever else she can to help the School of Music office run smoothly. Her favorite part of the job is interacting with the students--she knows many of them by names and they come in and visit her often she said.

She walks to work Monday through Friday, whether its rainy or sunny. On rainy days she wears purple and pink rain boots on her walk. Each afternoon she meets her friend,who works as an administrative assistant in the band office, for lunch at one of their houses. They are not only friends but also neighbors.

She was born in Fort Worth and has never lived anywhere else, not even in college. She graduated from Eastern Hills High School and then attended Texas Wesleyn in Fort Worth. She gets to walk across the stage one more time in May 2009-- she will be receiving a Master of Liberal Arts from TCU.

Her favorite hobby is sewing and she spends her spare time sharing her sewing expertise with others. She teaches a sewing class for extended education at TCU and also teaches private sewing lessons out of her home. Her least favorite thing to sew is home decor, such as curtains, because they do not have much shape; instead, she puts her needle and thread to use making clothes and craft items.
