Team Tucker – Christie Colburn

What is your background in city government?
My background in city government began two years ago as I was chosen for a position with the City of Tucker as a business license specialist. I have advanced my career this year and took another position with the City of Tucker as an accountant. I am excited to learn and continue my career in city government.

What does an accountant do for Team Tucker? 
An accountant does a lot for Team Tucker and wears many hats. I process and pay all invoices for the City of Tucker. I help manage and process business license renewals for businesses within the City and answer any questions they may have during the process. I also lend a helping hand with the Tucker Municipal Court and help out where I may be needed.

What are some of the most challenging aspects of your job?
I would say the most challenging aspect of my job right now is being new to the position. I look forward to the challenge of learning my new position and being a great asset to the City of Tucker.

Why do you enjoy what you do?
I enjoy what I do because not every day is the same, which challenges me and also helps me grow not only as an employee, but as an individual. Working for a great city and having amazing people to work alongside also makes me really enjoy what I do. 

How is it working in the new City Hall?
I have enjoyed working in the new City Hall and being able to interact with everyone on Team Tucker.
