OBJECTIVE
Dedicated, responsible individual with several years experience
working within the higher education community. Over twelve years experience
in counseling, instruction, and training individuals in various
programs (e.g. military occupations/skills, federal aid programs/regulations,
and professional staff development, compliance and internal business
controls). Experience within quality control, monitoring compliance to
Federal, State, and Institutional policies and regulations; data image
processing for archival and retrieval; writing/editing and preparation
of policies and procedures, program literature, and other publications
at the university level. Computer literate in both Macintosh, Windows,
and a number of integrated mainframe operating systems with several
years experience in a number of software applications such as Word, Excel,
MS Powerpoint, and the Department of Educations's software applications
(EDExpress, EDConnect, GAPS, NSLDS, COD).
I have worked in a variety of positions and have enjoyed those most
that have allowed constructive dialogue between management and staff (i.e.
open door policy). This allows for internal analysis of operations,
internal controls, and cost effectiveness while increasing creativity and
productivity. A firm or company's strong mission statement and belief
in its employees is a strong foundation for success, and I desire to
work for an organization that seeks the same.
