Welcome to my eportfolio! I am currently working at Tuition.io as a Program Success Associate after my previous employer, Wiley Beyond was sold to the Tuition.io and I was hired on to continue the work I previously was doing as a Reimbursement Specialist. I had previously been working with Wiley in the Higher Education for almost two years now. My favorite part of my job is making employees education goals a reality!

I have been working in the area of higher education administration and strategy for five years now, one at Education startup Wiley Beyond as a Reimbursement Specialist, one as an Enrollment Counselor for Wiley University Services, and three as the Assistant for the Graduate Coordinator for the University of Central Florida’s College of Sciences Dean’s Office. In these roles I have learned excellent customer service skills, interdepartmental communication, recruiting, university and company specific CRMs and more! I look forward to expanding my skillset as I advance through my career.

If I were to give two words that describe my best work attributes, they would be collaborative and innovative. Collaborative, because I enjoy working together with my coworkers to get a job done, and I always make a point to lend a hand. Innovative, because the best part of a job to me is diving right in and bringing my previous experience to see how processes can be improved. I am always learning something new and working towards self improvement!

I graduated in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Central Florida. During this time I collaborated on four different sociological research projects, presented on a couple of them in local and national conferences, served on the Student Undergraduate Research Committee, and was published in a high impact research journal. I was a part of organizations such Knights of Distinction, Alpha Kappa Delta Sociological Honor Society and more. These experiences have shaped my career, and I bring a little of each to every new role.

In the future, I hope to connect my experience in higher education with my interest in technology and research. I am currently enrolled in Oregon State University’s post baccalaureate in computer science to meet this goal. Feel free to reach out if our goals and interests connect!
