萝莉社

Hi! I鈥檓 Zach. I鈥檓 the Director of Enrollment and Student Services for the Barton School of Business. I started at 萝莉社 as a first generation student in 2004 and I鈥檝e basically been here ever since. I graduated from 萝莉社 with a Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Political Science and a Master鈥檚 degree in Communication. I have additional graduate coursework in teaching and education.  I鈥檝e taught classes in public speaking, interpersonal communication, debate, forensics, web design, and I鈥檓 currently the instructor for our BADM 162- Business Software: Microsoft Excel course.

I think I鈥檓 cool. My family and friends would probably say I鈥檓 a big nerd. I鈥檓 a big scifi, current events, and sports nerd. Baseball and basketball are my favorite sports. I typically listen to exciting fun things like NPR and informative podcasts, but I still listen to the same punk rock as I did when I was 16.

I worked in restaurants for about 10 years during high school and college (and some after college). I鈥檝e been a cook, server, general manager, but my favorite job was dishwasher (seriously). I鈥檝e been a teacher in high school and college.

In terms of advising, meeting with individual students is legit the best part of the job but unfortunately is what I get to do the least due to other parts of my job. I am most passionate about working with first generation students and students with financial need because that鈥檚 who I was when I started at 萝莉社 and I want to be the kind of person that I needed when I was a student here. I trust my team of great advisors to help any student who comes into our office, but when I get to meet with a student know that is probably the best part of my day.
