This taught me the importance of understanding institutional policies, Florida CIE policies, and ethical admissions practices. My overall goal is to help guide students to make ethical and informed decisions in order to create success for them and the institution.

Following the institution’s policies and Florida regulations helps students make informed decisions and builds trust throughout the admissions process. I plan to apply these principles in my daily work.
