Everett Community College did not have an efficient means for academic advisors to easily audit and provide recommendations for direct-transfer students entering Washington State universities.
This was a solo project in which I determined what the core audience, community college academic advisors, needed to efficiently advise students transferring to Washington State universities. As part of this project, I created an online portal to help academic advisors facilitate an audit of a student’s current course work.

User Research |
Conducted interviews with academic advisors and competitive analysis to answer the question “How can we make academic advisors and transfer students more efficient at determining degree paths and educational goals?” |
Sketching |
Created sketches and an interactive Balsamic prototype for the interface — which were reviewed by the target audience prior to development.
You can see examples of these in the image gallery above. |

Developed a database and online portal to addressed the pain points of the existing process.
The solution utilized the following technologies: SQL Server, ColdFusion, Azure SQL Server, GitHub, HTML, CSS, C#, JavaScript. |
Writing |
Documented the design and implementation of this project so future developers can maintain and extend the system. |
