About Me

 

 

A little bit about me

 

Hi! My name is Kasandrea!

I am incredibly passionate about education in all forms and encouraging others to achieve their dreams. My research areas include student retention, digital communication, brand development and social media marketing. I have deep experience in developing and analyzing data, curriculum development, and brand storytelling for both colleges and businesses.

My background is in marketing and brand management, specifically how individuals interact with and develop loyalty to companies. I really enjoy putting these skills to work in higher education, helping to design and build new programs to increase efficiency and satisfaction. Most recently I have been working to improve our academic advising services at my university, by focusing on people, product, and process. I am available for webinars, speaking engagements, and staff trainings.

I have a strong desire to impact and help others. I have an allergy to incompetence and a drive to make things bigger and better.

Forward Thinking

Problem Solver

I enjoy analyzing data to get to the root of problem and working to develop solutions that make an impact.

Creative & Resourceful

I have an entrepreneurial spirit and love a good challenge. I enjoy working to find unconventional opportunities for success.
