What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own admissions and enrollment growth end-to-end—running CRM pipelines, driving conversions, and delivering a smooth onboarding experience—while applying my education background to support learner success and retention.

I’m a results-driven admissions professional and educator with 8+ years of experience across early childhood education, special education, ABA therapy, curriculum development, and student enrollment. I’ve built my career around creating nurturing learning environments while ensuring prospects and families get a smooth, informed admissions journey.

In admissions roles, I’ve managed 50+ student inquiries end-to-end, tracked 150+ active applicants in Salesforce and spreadsheets, and coordinated cross-functionally to deliver friction-free onboarding. I’ve consistently achieved 25–30% conversion rates through timely follow-ups and secured a minimum of 15 enrollments per month, contributing at least $30,000 in revenue.

As a School Directress and Admissions Executive & Class Manager, I’ve led full-school and class operations—enrollment, parent communication, staffing, budgeting, curriculum management, and post-course retention. I bring hands-on instructional strengths from Montessori-based and ABA-based interventions, plus a mentoring mindset that improves learner outcomes and team performance.
