People like you are what make NC State such a great place to work! We hope you have a wonderful Holiday season!

Kim Howell

I started working in NC State’s Insurance & Risk Management department on February 4, 2019. My responsibilities include the administration of Auto Liability & Physical Damage, Ocean Marine Boat & Boat Pollution, GeoBlue Business Travel, Commercial General Liability, Oceanographic Equipment, Equine Mortality, Master Fine Arts, GeoBlue International Inbound, Medical Malpractice Professional Liability, Individual Professional Liability, and Unmanned Aviation (Drone) policies.

When I am not working I love spending time with my family and traveling with my husband, son, daughter in-love and 18 month old granddaughter (who keeps me extremely busy)! I love designing and painting props for birthday parties and events, gardening/farming, and being outdoors. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season! Go Pack!

Happy Holidays Everyone. My name is Cameron, I started at NC State in July 2023. I currently manage the Property, Athletic Accident, Student Interns, Inland Marine/Miscellaneous Equipment, Crime/Employee Dishonesty, Volunteer, Modular, and Special Events Liability Insurance policies.

Outside of work, I stay busy with my 19-month-old daughter and 1-year-old doodle puppy. I enjoy cooking and grilling, spending time with family, and watching sports. My wife and I are HUGE sports fans, and we have a house divided for college football and hockey. The one team we (mostly) agree on is the Philadelphia Eagles.

I started at NCSU in January of 2022 as the manager of the IRM team. I have worked in various roles within the commercial insurance space since 2013. I spent my previous 4 years in higher education risk management at the light blue school down the road in their Risk Management department. I enjoy pretty much any activity outdoors (sports, running, etc). I have a lovely wife, our first child due in April, and a 2 year old puppy! I am graduating from the Poole College of Management Jenkins MBA Program on December 12, 2024 with a concentration in Leadership and Business Analytics with a focus on Enterprise Risk Management. When I am not working or taking classes, I enjoy playing golf, disc golf, running, and soccer.
