About Josh R.

As a current Master of Science student at the Gies College of Business, I bring a robust educational background in Business Administration and Management to my role as Assistant Director of Accounting at Luzerne County Community College. Here, my core competencies lie in addressing academic and financial barriers, managing financial holds, directing internal/external collection activity, and promoting financial aid literacy among our students. My recent endeavors involve a hands-on approach with student accounts, advocating for the effective use of Title IV funds and counseling those denied federal aid. This role aligns with the organization’s mission to enhance student retention by offering personalized financial solutions. My expertise in Ellucian Colleague and accounts receivable ensures that we maintain a seamless business system flow, ultimately contributing to the college community\'s financial well-being and success.
