Administrative professional delivering calm, high-volume student support and accurate records as a sociology student at Covenant University.
What I'm looking for
I’m a sociology student at Covenant University, and I bring 2+ years of hands-on administrative and customer-facing experience. I’m known for a calm, professional tone and for handling high volumes of inquiries with empathy and clarity.
In my role as an Administrative Assistant at Covenant University Admissions Office, I served as a primary contact for prospective students and parents. I processed and maintained accurate student records during one of the busiest admissions cycles, coordinating with multiple departments to resolve applicant issues efficiently—often without escalation.
I also supported institutional operations as a File Room & Information Coordinator, managing high-volume physical and digital filing for fast, accurate retrieval of sensitive records. By auditing documents for accuracy and redesigning filing workflows, I reduced retrieval time and strengthened overall departmental efficiency.
Outside formal work, I’m a Course Representative for a class of 100+ students, acting as a liaison across academic and administrative matters. I handle grievances and scheduling conflicts diplomatically, provide peer support through active listening, and manage my responsibilities alongside a full academic load with strong time management and self-discipline.
