At Florida International University I was able to expand my ability to quickly learn and adapt to new systems.

Having learned to manage the Raiser's Edge database I was responsible for entering of various gifts to include major gifts, state matches, gift-in-kind and gifts given in the form of stocks. I initiated the writing of policies and procedures for all the department operations and policies and procedures for gift entry. I created a basic user friendly manual for new Raiser's Edge users which was to be used to train everyone in the division that had contact with the Raiser's Edge to ensure proper data entry. I was also part of the Data Integrity Committee.

I was responsible for creating weekly and monthly membership reports which was used by the Alumni Association to track the progress of their fundraising efforts and goals for the new fiscal year.

I reconciled monthly gift entries made by other Program Assistants and Coordinators to ensure all monies were accounted for.

A turn around time of 24 hours was required for the mailing of receipts to constituents who made donations of $250 and above, a deadline which I was able to meet.
