Summary

As an experienced Academic Advisor II, I have demonstrated the ability to lead from my seat to make positive impacts on the organization. I bring a comprehensive set of skills, such as utilizing systems and daily reports to identify trends in Student Experience, engaging with the Advisory Council weekly on university strategies, and, most importantly, working with my peers to help develop their professional goals. I have had the honor to facilitate new hire shadows, which allowed me to utilize my skillsets in conducting QA to ensure new hires are adhering to our Student Engagement Guide, CX Framework, and New Student Orientation Guide. I am also able to foster a communicative environment where me and my team can work as one to uphold SNHU’s Mission, Vision, Core Values, and Core Competencies.
