Enrollment Manager Robert Morris University
Admissions Counselor Mount Ida College
I joined EdAssist after many years working in admissions and enrollment management, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

 

Before joining EdAssist, I was Enrollment Manager at Robert Morris University, where I was responsible for recruiting and advising students on several different programs. I was also a member of the adjunct faculty, teaching courses in Communication and Organizational Leadership, and I served on the membership committee for the National Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals. I continue to teach online courses at institutions dedicated to adult learners. Prior to that, I worked as an admissions counselor at Mount Ida College and coordinated the recruitment and advising of students with learning disabilities.

I have a bachelor’s degree in communications from Allegheny College and a master’s in organizational leadership from Robert Morris University. I’m also and a Certified Associate Project Manager (CAPM).

My best advice to adult learners is… to learn! Sometimes we see higher education as a means to an end, but the knowledge you gain is the most valuable.
