What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a higher education role where I can use admissions, advising, enrollment, and financial aid expertise to support students, strengthen communication, and drive retention through consistent, student-focused guidance.

I’m an academic and enrollment-focused higher education professional who supports students and families through academic, enrollment, and financial processes. I bring a reliable, organized, student-first approach to improving student success, retention, and institutional support.

In my Academic Advisor/Football Academic Advisor role, I provide academic, personal, and student success support by helping students understand academic expectations, campus resources, and progress requirements. I collaborate with faculty, staff, advisors, and campus departments to monitor student progress and connect students with the right support services.

Earlier as an Admissions Advisor, I guided prospective students through admissions by explaining application requirements, enrollment steps, academic programs, and financial aid basics. I reviewed student applications based on academic qualifications and program needs, and I built strong relationships through phone, email follow-ups, campus visits, and one-on-one advising.

I’ve also developed broad operational experience across recruiting, registrar, and financial aid. As a Director of Football Recruiting, I coordinated prospect communication and campus visit planning, and at the registrar and financial aid levels I supported accurate records, registration processes, FAFSA/Direct Loans guidance, verification, compliance with satisfactory academic progress, and documentation handling.
