2018 | 2019 CFCC FACES STUDENT SPOTLIGHT Meet Caitlin Graybill, CFCC’s first female Electrical Lineworker program graduate. Miserable at her desk job and done with taking classes she wasn’t truly interested in, Caitlin knew she needed a change. Her love for the outdoors and craftsmanship led her to CFCC’s Electrical Lineworker training program. Caitlin conquered waves of self-doubt and temptations to quit, but when those times came she reminded herself of just how badly she wanted it. The training program gave Caitlin the support and knowledge base she needed to take a job after graduation. Caitlin is now happily employed by Volt Power.

2018 CFCC Medical Sonography Alum, Jessica Pizzo is unstoppable! One month after graduation, Jessica got a job at Duke University Medical Center, two months later she got elected to the board of the North Carolina Ultrasound Society, and she is now also serving on two hospital committees. Jessica is passionate about her career and patients, and her enthusiasm for CFCC is off the charts. “Don’t be afraid - you’re going to learn so much and get a lot out of it” Pizzo wants students to know.

CFCC student, Bradford Olson is taking his skills in an exciting direction. Recently hired to serve as the local music director for a musical adaptation of “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” CFCC fine arts student Bradford Olson will work alongside the esteemed Tony Award Winner BD Wong and Drama Desk Award Winner Wayne Barker. It’s a great honor that our area and the Wilson Center were chosen for this production. In an interview with WWAY, BD Wong describes the Cape Fear area as “magical” and a “location with people dedicated to being in theatre.” At this time, the premiere of this highly-anticipated show is unknown due to COVID-19. Monitor wilsoncentertickets.com for updates. “Doing something this large and doing it at the wonderful venue that is the Wilson Center at CFCC is truly the best professional experience I have ever taken a part in.”
