As director of special projects, I have had the privilege of working on anything from designing the tactical execution of strategic initiatives in the organization to attempting to improve those headache-inducing processes other staff haven't been able to get to. While my project of focus may change from year to year, my use of a strengths-based team approach combined with assumption-checking questioning does not. Currently, the scope of my projects includes:- Conducting an internal audit of donor relations activity, to be followed up with an executive summary and whitepaper recommendation for future projects.- Managing the 14-month transition of our annual endowment reporting to incorporate a digital delivery component that aligns with industry best practices and donor needs.- Coordinating the stewardship of scholarship donors with campus partners.- Facilitating team learning and development for the advancement services department in collaboration with the executive director of advancement services.Past projects include:- Developing and operationalizing a three-year strategic plan to incorporate Gallup's CliftonStrengths assessment, the Q12 Engagement Survey, and an updated Performance Management model in collaboration with the director of talent management and chief of staff. - Building and managing the Student Ambassador initiative - a paid student employment program designed to alleviate entry to mid-level employees of administrative tasks. - Operationalizing the project management of annual strategic communication pieces in collaboration with constituent engagement and advancement services teammates.- Coordinating logistical support for annual Board of Directors' meetings. - Managing administrative responsibilities and provide staffing assistance to the leadership team typically carried out by our chief of staff during her maternity leave.

As the International Student Advisor and a Designated School Official at the University of South Dakota, I assisted international students with F category visas from the time they are admitted to the university until they have completed their academic training, including any post-completion F1 employment. I advised international students on how to obtain and maintain their visa per Federal Regulations and maintained their record in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System accordingly.. Throughout a student's tenure with the University of South Dakota, I advised them on their employment eligibility, applying for F1 benefits, ways to acclimate to campus, study resources, student organizations, reporting requirements and much more. In addition to my interaction with students, I planned orientations and cultural excursions in the region, taught a First Year Experience Seminar, coordinated with the University Housing Department on a Living Learning Community, and helped the Director of the International Office find other ways to implement the university's internationalization strategy. Finally, I assisted the International Recruitment team by completing competitive market analyses, recommended communication strategies, worked with incoming students through matriculation and managed the office's International Student Ambassador program.

As a degree auditor, I reviewed students'​ academic records to ensure academic compliance and to identify degree eligibility. Throughout a student's undergraduate studies, several audits are done to ensure students are aware of the remaining requirements needed for degree conferral. I worked with students and academic faculty or staff members to find solutions to deviations in a student's academic record resulting from extenuating circumstances. Additionally, I assisted with the university commencement ceremonies by managing candidate lists as well as by helping set up and execute Spring and Winter commencement ceremonies. Once promoted to Assistant Registrar, I retained degree auditing and degree conferral responsibilities and worked with the Registrar to formulate a plan for implementing "Student Planner" to the university. This included learning code to build program evaluations, enter overrides for approved exceptions to a student's academic program and attending state-wide meetings with leadership for phasing in "Student Planner."

As the Alumni Relations Coordinator at the University of South Dakota's Alumni Association, I worked to organize events throughout the country in order to provide alumni and friends of the university the opportunity to socialize, network, and stay connected. From tailgates to banquets, I was responsible for organizing all events hosted by the Alumni Association. Additionally my responsibilities included implementing new ways to engage alumni with the university regardless of their geographical location.

My primary responsibility was to increase the enrollment of "first-time, full-time" freshmen students at the University of South Dakota's main campus by assisting students and their families through the admissions process. I customized communication plans targeted towards my assigned territory, educated students on their opportunities at the university, and assisted in programming designed to increase and improve enrollment numbers. Additionally, I assisted in training new staff, planned and presented at recruitment and enrollment events, and coordinated with academic departments to ensure information is up to date.
