Mehak Qureshie
@mehakqureshie
Higher-ed admissions strategist and content writer improving funnels, SEO growth, and student retention.
What I'm looking for
I build and run end-to-end student and applicant experiences—turning outreach into measurable outcomes. As a Senior Associate – UG Admissions at Plaksha University, I owned the admissions funnel for 1,200+ applicants and drove a 30% reduction in cost per lead and 90% post-offer retention.
I use structured decision-making and cross-functional execution to move cohorts forward. I conducted 200+ structured interviews, synthesised findings into committee-ready reports, and led cross-channel outreach campaigns (webinars, school sessions, onboarding sequences) that achieved 70% confirmed show-up on onboarding calls.
Outside admissions, I deliver reader-ready, SEO-aligned long-form content. As a Freelance Content Writer for SuperSummary, I produced 20 literature study guides on schedule and piloted AI-driven research that reduced research time by 40% while increasing content output by 5 articles.
