Answer: Financial aid can be confusing and stressful, that’s why I enjoy breaking down complex information into clear, manageable steps so students understand their options and can make informed decisions about their education.

Focus: Customer Service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: What I enjoy most about working with students on the financial aid process is being able to walk them through a process that can feel confusing and stressful. Many students, especially first-generation college students, aren\u2019t familiar with the terminology or the steps involved, and I find it incredibly rewarding to help simplify that for them.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
