Background

About Damion Saunders

With over 9 years of work experience, I am a passionate and dedicated Financial Assistance Advisor at ECPI University, where I help students and parents navigate the complex and dynamic process of funding their education. I am also a current MBA student at the same university, pursuing a Masters degree in Organizational Leadership, with the goal of enhancing my skills and knowledge in managing and leading teams and projects. I value integrity, collaboration, and excellence, and I strive to provide exceptional customer service, accurate and timely financial aid packaging, and smart and ethical financial planning to my clients. As a Financial Assistance Advisor, I collect and analyze student financial data to determine federal and institutional aid eligibility, advise students and parents on tuition cost, federal funding, and other methods of paying for their education based on need analysis, and package military benefits and financial aid according to Federal and University regulations. I also conduct file reviews, including verification, professional judgments, and dependency overrides, and collaborate well with other campus departments to ensure seamless and smooth student service. I have consistently maintained an accuracy rate above 90%, demonstrating my attention to detail, business acumen, and CRM skills. Previously, I was a Financial Assistance Coordinator, providing administrative support to the Financial Assistance department, and a Small Business Owner, running a successful pet and house sitting service for over 8 years.
