From Temp to Full-Time, Becky Clore plays a vital role on the AP Team

Becky and her children

Becky Clore has been with UVAFinance as a temporary employee since April 24. Now, at nearly her year anniversary in Accounts Payable, Clore is transitioning into a permanent spot on the team.

When Clore arrived in UVAFinance last spring, she was part of the effort to help address issues stemming from the transition to Workday Finance. Clore and her colleagues plowed through backlogs of Jaeggar transactions, match exceptions, stuck invoices, and more, and then they transitioned into invoice processing when that was moved in-house.

Although she has been through some challenging projects on the team, she says her experience has been wonderful, citing her team, her manager, and our users across Grounds as one of the chief reasons she has enjoyed the role.

Clore, who has been recognized by stakeholders for her customer service skills, says her experience at UVA has taught her many things. This is especially true as her work often has her “fixing things” for not only users but also suppliers. These days, she finds that although she’s not dealing with massive backlogs, her work is still engaging and varied.

Clore says she looks forward to growing with the organization.

“I hope to be here a long time,” she says. “I’m like that guy from Office Space with the stapler – you can’t get rid of me!”

She cites her experience in higher education as a welcome challenge, even though she has about twenty years of financial experience.

Clore is native to this area and has two children (Alijah, 15, and Alayna, 14) with whom she enjoys spending time. The family is rounded out by Lucy, a cocker spaniel mix, and three cats: Clifford, Garfield, and Sandy.
