GPA: 3.18 (B.A)
Work Experience: 4+ years in Higher Education-- Lots of experience with institutions facing significant crisis. My first stop was in the final year of operations for a nearly 170-year-old university that lost its SACS accreditation, and the current spot just made it through a highly publicized Presidential scandal. I work in Access and Enrollment Management and dedicate a lot of time to research into expanding markets and strategic planning. Previously split duties between admissions and enrollment marketing.
Undergraduate / Graduate Institutions: Private
Research Experience: Limited to practical research within the scope of my field. Currently working on two large research projects-- first, in cooperation with our VP, I'm developing a proposal for our Board of Trustees to adjust tuition policies for out-of-state students residing near the state line (we are a Public university). Second, I am working on research for a NACAC presentation on the best practices and data points for high school counselors to consider when guiding students towards school where they will retain.
