Finally, I accurately assess and find the college that best fits each student based on academic, social, and financial factors.My former experience:As the Associate Director of Student Recruitment for Kelley Graduate Accounting Programs at Indiana University\'s Kelley School of Business, I led the development, design, and execution of our comprehensive student recruitment strategy for the 3/2 MBA and MS in Accounting with Data and Analytics programs.

This experience honed my skills in admissions and public service.Before entering the field of higher education, I served as a Dean\'s Fellow in the Central Dean\'s Office for the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan.

I look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in this field and contributing to the success of both students and institutions.
