Upon learning of your search for a new Academic Counselor to join your staff at Templeton University, I felt compelled to submit my resume for your review. As an enthusiastic and motivated professional with 12+ years of experience in student advising and support, as well as excellent communication talents and a firm commitment to achieving institutional goals, I am confident that I would become an immediate asset to your team in this role.

With strong interpersonal, problem solving, and organizational abilities, I am more than prepared to excel in this position and make a dynamic contribution to the success of your students.

Highlights of my qualifications include…

Performing a broad range of academic advisory and student support responsibilities, including registration, class schedules, transfer credits, enrollment/withdrawal, and long-term course planning/selection.

Counseling a caseload of up to 450 undergraduate and graduate students at Mississippi State College, utilizing worksheets, discussions, and interview techniques to identify student goals and shape a customized path to timely degree completion.

Delivering presentations to educate students on institutional policies, procedures, and expectations to drive achievement of graduation requirements.

Maintaining an 80% student retention rate through top-notch student service and career development efforts.

Experience in working with traditional, non-traditional, domestic and international students.

Earning a Master’s Degree in Educational Counseling from Biloxi University.
