Immediately after graduating college, I had the privilege of fulfilling many roles at Winston-Salem State University in Winston-Salem, NC. First, I served as an admissions advisor and recruiter. I was responsible for representing the University and cultivating positive working relationships with high school guidance counselors in target areas. Later, I performed double duty of data entry and program coordinator. While serving as program coordinator I successfully managed the Fall Open House, Spring Open House and Scholar's Day Programs. All of which received positive reviews from prospective students and their parents and fellow colleagues. Finally, I served as Financial Aid Counselor. My duties included: managing Federal Work Study Funds, creating a streamlined Satisfactory Academic Progress program, counseling students on financial literacy, creating outreach programs for prospective students, such as FAFSA Assistance Day, and improving office and current student rapport, along with awarding scholarships and federal aid to students, and performing accurate verification on flagged FAFSA applications, secured a contract with Financial Aid TV, a virtual advising program for current and prospective students.
