I currently serve as an accounting and administrative manager at the District of Columbia College Access Program (DC-CAP). DC-CAP opens doors for students to make their college dream a reality and also creates an environment to promote successful student retention once the admissions process is completed. I truly identify with the organization's all-encompassing approach to student enrollment and its focus on breaking down social and economic barriers that negatively impact and influence students, parents and communities toward achieving higher education. I have seen firsthand how efficient and effective communication and interpersonal skills are assets at all levels
