The story

As a student assistant in the Rhodes Development Department, I take ownership of the small-but-consequential work of keeping donor and alumni records clean. Reconciling reports, catching duplicates, fixing malformed entries — the kind of work that nobody sees until it's wrong.

I treat it as an engineering discipline: assume nothing, verify everything, leave an audit trail.

Marks in the margin

  • Reconciled reports across alumni and donor systems.
  • Corrected duplicate and malformed entries at scale.
  • Executed meticulous data entry with an audit trail.
  • Comfort with Excel, pivot tables, and tabular reasoning.
