\"HEATHER<\/a>

NCC Alumna, Heather Perry<\/p><\/div>\n

Graduating from a small Christian school made the decision to attend Nash Community College easier. When I started my college experience, I was introduced to the most amazing faculty and staff. Their genuine support, accessibility, and expertise made the transition smooth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While at Nash, I participated in the work study program. I worked in the Public Relations Department and took pride in my job. I saw \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d of the institution. It was at that very moment that I knew I wanted to make Nash my home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My goal was to graduate with my Associate in Arts and transfer to North Carolina Wesleyan College to pursue my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because of the hard work of the NCC Foundation and the support of their faithful donors, I received the Gravely Upper Class Scholarship. This scholarship provided the financial means to achieve my goal both at Nash Community College and North Carolina Wesleyan College.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lord opened the door for me to work at Nash. I began my career on August 1, 2007 as an Accounting Technician in the Business Office working with fixed assets, payables, and later on part time payroll. In March 2011, I accepted the position as Direct Loan Officer in the College\u2019s Financial Aid Department.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Working in financial aid is not always easy, but knowing that I can make a difference in the lives of my students is worth it all. I know what it is like to be on the other side of the desk, and it is my prayer that I never lose sight of it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are always exciting things happening at Nash Community College, and I am looking forward to what the future holds in my career and especially in the lives of our students!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
