“I am so excited and thankful for the opportunity to lead the admissions team,” Fields said. “The college has made such an important impact on my family, my career, and the community. EGSC offers an exceptional education for everyone at times and locations that are convenient for every learner, no matter the stage they are in their educational journey and at an amazing value. It is a blessing to be able to work at the college that changed my life and can offer educational opportunities to change others’ lives each day.”

Fields was born and raised in Swainsboro. After graduating from Swainsboro High School, she attended and graduated from East Georgia College before moving on to Georgia Southern University, where she majored in Information Systems.

She has been in the Office of Admissions since 2006 where she has served as a processor, assistant director and, most recently, in the interim director role. 

Throughout her tenure in the Admissions Office, Fields has helped to build key relationships with campus partners as well as external partners, according to the release.
