The Workplace

My career as a Financial Aid Counselor (Officer) for the University of Texas at Austin, Office of Student Financial Services (OSFS) began in June of 1992. I have worked in several departments of the office, including Application Completion and Quality Control. I now counsel approximately 1300 undergraduate students in financing their education through Scholarships, Grants and Title IV Federal Financial Aid. I was promoted to Financial Aid Officer II in October 1997. I am the OSFS contact person for Immigration and Naturalization Services and Veteran's Benefits. I have a variety of administrative duties and serve as an Institutional Quality Assurance Program (QAP) Team member, a program of statistical research in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Education. I enjoy working with the public and I get a great deal of satisfaction watching my students thrive and succeed.

All work and no play makes a dull office, they say. Our OSFS Softball team has been very successful in Intramural League play. I truly enjoy my position as "catcher" on the team.
