Summary

I have strong organizational skills which allow me to use time wisely. I enjoy working with people . This has served me well in my success with students and their families throughout the college financial process. I am a forward thinker and continually see where needs are and create and troubleshoot solutions for those needs. Often this requires thinking outside the box and being resourceful to achieve management and team goals. I am willing to build a strong company foundation and continuously improve my skills through on-going training.
