UAB Director of Athletics Mark Ingram announced the hiring of Katreshia Louis-Verrett as Senior Associate Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator (SWA) for the UAB Department of Athletics on July 20, 2017.

Louis-Verrett joined the Blazers after six years as the SWA at North Carolina A&T State University. While working with the Aggies, Louis-Verrett had sport administrator oversite for eight teams. She also served as the Deputy Title IX Coordinator, advisor for the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), and athletic liaison to the Faculty Athlete Representative, where she was responsible for collaborating and submitting all NCAA reports.

“We are excited to welcome Katreshia to our team. Her extensive amount of experience and skillset made her an ideal candidate for this position, and will allow for an easy transition as our SWA,” said Director of Athletics Mark Ingram. “She is passionate about the transformational process that occurs with our student-athletes and her positive energy is going to be a great asset to our entire department.”

Prior to North Carolina A&T, Louis-Verrett worked at Georgia Tech from 2006-11 and spent her final five years as the Assistant Director of Compliance for the Yellow Jackets.

While at Georgia Tech, she worked with student-athletes, coaches and staff to ensure that day-to-day compliance duties were being upheld. Included in her responsibilities, she was the director of the Next Level Seminar, a program designed to educate parents about agents and advisors.

Louis-Verrett earned her Juris Doctorate from Southern University Law Center in 2004. From there, she worked as a Legal Loan Closer and Customer Service Representative for the U.S. Small Business Administration and as a Closing Agent and Legal Advisor for Carter, Martin & Hill, APLC. The skillsets learned from those positions provided the experience necessary for legal compliance.

She earned her undergraduate degree in Sociology from the University of Miami in 2000 and her Master’s degree in Sport Adminstration from Miami in 2017. While in undergrad, she was a four-year standout on the track and field team. The Hurricanes captured back-to-back Big East Championships in 1998 and 1999.

Louis-Verrett currently serves on the Division I Progress Toward Degree Waiver Committee, and has been an active member of the Women Leaders in College Sports (WLCS) and National Association of Athletics Compliance (NAAC) since 2008.
