I started my tenure in the for-profit higher education sector in 2005. I realized shortly after starting in that role, that I found an area that I truly love and enjoy seeing the impact that I can make in others. I have experience working in certificate/technical colleges and four year bachelor/master degreed environments. Additionally, I have worked in every role within the colleges to include:

Enrollment Advisor & Sr. Enrollment Advisor

Enrollment Trainer

Enrollment Manager

Director of Enrollment Training (responsible for training delivery and outcomes for the state of Texas) Director of Enrollment

District Director of Enrollment (managed team of directors spread across multiple locations) Director of Student Development Placement)

Campus Executive Officer

In May of 2012, I accepted the position of Campus Executive Officer. I was responsible for the campus operations and outcomes. I oversaw the admissions, financial, instructional, and academic departments. I was hired to turn the outcomes of the campus to the expected deliverables. We were able to exceed expectations and our campus earned multiple awards for performance excellence.

While working in the Campus Executive Officer role, I was mentoring several of my colleagues and assisting the Regional Director on many of her initiatives. I was often the person that my colleagues would call or invite me to their locations to assist in campus operational needs. I enjoy connecting and working together with other professionals towards a common goal. I can relate to a Campus President and understand his or her needs.

For the past three years, I have been working outside of higher education in an IT Cybersecurity Consulting company. I was hired to make specific changes within the business, create process and systems, and drive the overall performance. I was able to do all of that and remove all debt within the organization, double the owners pay, and lower turnover rates. The owner has decided to remove the position, not rehire, and end my assignment at the end of 2019. I am ready to jump into my next opportunity, ideally in higher education where I have the bulk of my experience.

I personally believe in the transformation of education. I am a product of higher education, believing in oneself, and working full-time while attending school full-time. I have seen the benefit for myself and family through the sacrifice that I made to earn my degrees. I can relate to students that need the support, encouragement, and accountability to be great. I enjoy building teams that want to do the same and exceed student expectations.

I look forward to hearing from you to further discuss the opportunity and specifically how I believe I can help drive the campus expectations.

Thank you for the time and consideration,

Ambrose Shea
