As an employee of the Siena College of Admissions for the past four years, I have held numerous positions within the office, including a tour guide, office worker and intern, and a member of the prestigious McGuire Society. As a tour guide, I gave tours to prospective students and elaborated on my experiences as a student at Siena. This experience gave me strong public-speaking skills and the ability to think on my feet when it came to answering questions from parents and students. During the summer of 2015 I was an office intern and worker for Admissions, where I spent time filing applications, familiarizing myself further with Microsoft Office, including Word and Excel. I was put in charge of several program sessions, including designating rooms for Open Houses and organizing the tour routes. I also served on a informative panel where I was asked questions on the student experience at Siena. In addition, I called students and their families directly prior to the Open Houses and provided them with the necessary information for the events. In the Spring semester of my junior year, I was selected to join McGuire Society, an elite group of rising seniors chosen to work further alongside the Admissions Counselors. In this role, I conducted interviews with high school seniors and delivered personal feedback on whether or not they would be a good fit for Siena. In addition, I moderated panels and gave presentations during Open Houses, I went to college fairs with Admissions Counselors, and corresponded directly with prospective students and their families. As an Admissions Intern during my senior year, I work alongside the Director of Admissions where I gained experience in programming, student application approvals, and CRM. My four years of pivotal experience in college admissions has made me very passionate about higher education and I strongly believe that every individual is entitled to the personal and educational growth that comes from a college experience.
