At Stone Academy I used my administrative and counseling skills to help and encourage students to enroll. By using extensive knowledge of the admissions and enrollment process I was able to communicate with students. Usually via telephone and in person, to explain what Stone Academy offers and our programs benefits. As well as hosting events at local high schools to encourage recruitment. I conduct strong follow up activity with applicants to ensure successful achievement once attending school.
