“Karyn is an extremely knowledgeable and innovative financial aid professional whose depth of understanding about both policy and practice make her an asset in every sense of the word. Her ability to look at challenges from a wide range of perspectives and her willingness to think creatively about how to achieve desired outcomes make her a productive and pleasant colleague. She has a patient, calm demeanor but manages to serve as a strong advocate for what she believes in and to rally support from an otherwise unreceptive audience. I not only benefited professionally from my work with Karyn, but personally as well. I wholeheartedly endorse Karyn's candidacy and am confident that she will be an asset to any firm lucky enough to bring her onto the team.”

“As VP of Financial Aid, Karyn was the sponsor of a major project initiative within Ellis College, establishing internal management and administration of Title IV Financial Aid in 2007 & 2008. Not only the sponsor, but also subject matter expert, Karyn provided valuable insight, support and direction to me as the project manager as well as many of the other team members. Karyn’s key contributions to Ellis College and the project were the configuration of all student financial aid processing on an internal student administration system (Campus Vue) and migration of current and active student loans contained in the system and ledgers of Ellis’ parent institution, the New York Institute of Technology. Karyn artfully handled relationships and issues, not only between two very culturally different higher education institutions, but also with multiple outsourcing vendors providing student aid processing and bursar functionality. Her expertise and knowledge of Title IV regulation, system processing and Department of Education electronic interfaces were instrumental keys to the success of the project. For the duration of a very challenging and difficult assignment, Karyn provide the utmost in professional guidance and motivation, consistently displaying a positive attitude that influenced and impacted all who worked closely with her. My experience with Karyn has been invaluable, not only for the project success, but for her example of treating everyone with dignity and professional grace under very demanding conditions.”
