What motivated you to work in higher education, and what do you enjoy most about the profession?
During my senior year in college in a non-profit marketing class, we had the Director of Admissions give a guest lecture on how they market the university. It was a fascinating presentation and inspired me to include higher education marketing in my post graduation job search. I enjoy working with students and helping them achieve their educational and career goals.
