Borgquist

Senior Sales & Admissions Professional

Career & enrollment advising · 15+ years

I’m a senior sales and admissions professional with 15+ years guiding people through big, high-commitment decisions. For the past nine years, I have advised adult students on career-changing education, from university tech boot camps at 2U to nursing and sonography programs at International College of Health Sciences, taking them from first call to enrollment. I consistently ranked in the top 5 of 100+ advisors company-wide at 2U. I built a strong sales foundation in fine art, generating $12M+ in personal sales over eight years at Park West Gallery. I build trust quickly, ask the right questions, and follow through until the job is done.
