At NEC, I was responsible for a wide variety of operations tasks for Office of the Registrar within the Office of Student Services. This includes grade processing, record maintenance and updating, transcript generation, posting of transfer credit, and registration. I participated in scheduling, managed wait lists, and executed larger projects. I also collected student names for graduation, prepared diplomas and ordered and distributed regalia for Commencement.

Some of my accomplishments include switching to online graduation requests, shortening the processing time of transcripts, expanding the scope of duties for my position, and fostering a more welcoming office culture for students and other visitors. In summer 2016 I initiated a long-term archival project for 15,000+ student transcripts to digitize and preserve our 20th century records.

After a family relocation, I took a position at Boston College. I was the administrator for the Music Department, supporting the Chair and Asst. Chair and making sure faculty had needs met.
