Bio
Ciel Senechal
I have known Deb professionally for over 20 years. Deb is a seasoned higher education professional with enormous leadership, management and higher education experience. She is nationally recognized as a subject matter expert in the field of financial aid. She understands the big picture and also pays attention to the small details. She welcomes a challenge and is a true agent of change in an industry that is always trying to do better. She is an extremely hard worker and is known for her high ethics and attention to detail. Deb would be an asset to any organization and I highly recommend her without reservation.

Smiling is a natural state for Deb. When she laughs, you know it is sincere. I have had the immense pleasure of working with Deb in one capacity or another for over 15 years and have witnessed Deb's unconventional ability to form fast, long-lasting and sincere relationships - all as she has moved her organizations' agenda forward. Deb is an extremely knowledgeable and capable executive who conveys a sense of confidence and assuredness with her customers and coworkers. If I was given a difficult project and had to put a team together, I would ask for Deb to be on my team (even before knowing what the challenge would be). Deb will be to any organization the ability to get things done - she will bring new ideas and at times may actually challenge the status quo in order to make for a better organization, product or service. An asset to any organization thinking of working with her, Deb will make things better for whichever entity she decides to join.
