Hello there! I'm an enthusiastic Higher Education Business Analyst with a strong drive for translating intricate data into practical insights that elevate institutional performance. My professional journey began at the University of Maryland-Global Campus, where I earned my Master of Business Administration (MBA) and laid the groundwork for my career in higher education, initially specializing in financial aid.
As a dedicated member of the Higher Education User Group (HEUG) since 2006, with a particular focus on financial aid, I've had the privilege of contributing to and benefiting from a community dedicated to advancing technology in higher education.
With over 18 years deeply immersed in the higher education landscape, I've refined my expertise in dissecting educational data to offer strategic guidance, streamline operations, and cultivate advancement within academic settings.
My bachelor's degree in psychology and sociology provides me with a distinctive lens through which to understand human behavior and learning, complementing my analytical prowess. I firmly believe that a profound grasp of student needs and motivations is fundamental in shaping impactful data-driven strategies.
My skill set spans various domains, including data analysis, process enhancement, student financial assistance policies and protocols, business intelligence, and data visualization. I thrive in collaborative environments where cross-functional teamwork is pivotal in achieving objectives.
