As the Academic Advising and Assessment Director at a two-year community college in Mississippi, I am responsible for advising students and training other advisors on campus to complete schedules, degree evaluations, and make sure each student is on track for graduation. I've been in higher education since November 2023, and have already been promoted twice within my institution. Prior to my current role, I served as the Director of Institutional Effectiveness, where I made sure that the institution was doing everything needed to keep its national accreditation through SACSCOC. Before coming into higher education, I was more in public service as an employment specialist, assisting individuals with being re-employed with the Mississippi Re-Employment program. I also have background in human services in the SNAP department, child support enforcement, and the Housing Authority. I spent 10 years with the city of Gulfport as a dispatcher and water verification clerk. I am also prior service, having done 6 years with the 172nd Mississippi Air National Guard as an EMT. I have always been in enrollment-type positions, so when I moved to the Delta where jobs are very few, I started off in admissions. I had background in enrollment because I enrolled people into food stamps or SNAP benefits, housing, and unemployment, so those same types of positions got me over to higher education in admissions where I was enrolling students, and from that position, I have now been promoted twice.
