I average four enrollments per 10 leads by building authentic relationships, quickly qualifying interest, and staying proactive with follow-up.

Still, I\'m open to new leadership opportunities in admissions and enrollment strategy—especially roles that value initiative, creativity, and results.Expertise: Admissions Operations Management, Lead Generation & Acquisition, Event Planning, Client Engagement, General Operations Leadership
