Welcoming Matty Cash to the UVA Finance Team

Welcome, Matty!

Earlier this month, Matty Cash joined the UVAFinance team as an Executive Assistant to Julie Richardson and Katie Walker, bringing a strong background in nonprofit and healthcare work, as well as a clear passion for helping others. With a creative approach to her role and a drive to support those around her, Cash is looking forward to the opportunities ahead.  

“I am ready to help people in a new capacity and put myself to the test,” she says.

A native of Virginia, Cash earned her Bachelor’s degree in Communications with a focus in Public Relations from the University of Lynchburg. After graduating, she held a variety of support roles in Loudoun County, VA, from customer service to marketing and communications, before joining UVA Health as an Administrative Specialist.

Now at UVA Finance, Cash is eager to bring together her analytical strengths and creativity, and she's enjoying the collaborative spirit of her new team.

“I find the behind-the-scenes things very interesting,” she shares, adding that she's looking forward to learning more about the University and how its finance office operates.

Outside the office, Cash enjoys spending time with friends, especially at local wineries and breweries, and has a creative streak she expresses through painting, drawing, scrapbooking, and journaling. After two years of reading nothing but nonfiction, she’s currently enjoying an Elin Hilderbrand murder mystery for a change of pace.

With a minor in English and a prize-winning published poem under her belt, Cash also loves to write. She recently fostered some kittens but doesn't have pets at the moment. Fortunately, she spends plenty of time with her family: her older sister lives nearby, and her father is just down the road in Southern Virginia.

Welcome, Matty! We’re glad you’re here!
