Troy is originally from Birmingham, AL and currently resides in Greenville, SC. He began working in higher education admissions in 2006 and has been working with students and teams ever since. The aspect of higher education admissions that Troy is most inspired by is the process of hearing each person’s unique goals and motivations, and helping them feel confident in the program that matches. ACHS’s commitment to providing individualized support to each student is the main reason Troy was excited to join the team.
A past role that helped to shape Troy’s career was his promotion to Regional Director of Admissions with a previous college. This position had not existed and Troy was one of 3 Regional Directors who had the opportunity to work with multiple campuses and teams to develop best practices in supporting prospective students in the admissions process. Having the ability to design a process that allowed for personal attention to be given to prospects on a large scale led to Troy’s interest in efficient, people based processes.
Troy brings 19 years of higher education advising and team leadership to ACHS. Having worked with a variety of schools and school types in his career, Troy brings a variety of best practices to admissions teams. Troy is most proud of seeing all of the teams he has worked with lead and support students to change their lives.
“What I find most exciting is helping people discover that they can follow their passion and expand their opportunities through education. Taking that step can be scary, so having a supportive advisor gives students the confidence they need to follow their dreams.”
