A decade of working in the field of education has afforded me the opportunity to serve learners across age groups and socioeconomic statuses. My professional opportunities range from working in university recruitment and admissions to serving as a middle grades teacher. My experiences have developed into a passion for student advocacy and fighting for equity in access to postsecondary opportunities.I currently lead recruitment and communication initiatives for the NC State College Advising Corps. In this role, I take ownership of our communication and marketing strategy. I utilize various tools to analyze progress toward program KPI’s and translate that data into actionable goals, recruitment materials, and communication with key stakeholders. Additionally, I lead outreach efforts to internal and external stakeholders across the communities we serve in areas of rural eastern North Carolina.I find immense value in supporting a program that serves under resourced areas of North Carolina. My work is driven by a dedication to promoting the vision that every student deserves support in accessing postsecondary options, whether they are considering a four-year institution, community college, or workforce preparation program.
