Summary
Dynamic High School Counselor with over 30 years at St. Francis Xavier High School, adept at college admissions support and individual student counseling. Successfully coordinated the largest private college fair in northern Wisconsin, enhancing post-secondary career exploration. Recognized for problem-solving skills and a commitment to student well-being through personalized guidance and support.
I believe I would be an ideal candidate for the Application Reader position due to my years of experience in dealing with students from a variety of backgrounds and abilities. I also have a strong connection to Marquette University as I served on your Counselor advisory board for many years, so I believe I have a very accurate grasp on the type of students who could not only do well at Marquette University but add to the student population and the overall campus environment.
