Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Scott spent most of his life in the Rocky Mount area. After graduating from Rocky Mount Academy, he attended North Carolina State University and obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in English with a concentration in Journalism. This was followed shortly thereafter by a Master of Arts Degree in English from East Carolina University, this time with a specialization in Creative Writing. In 2000, Scott accepted a position at North Carolina Wesleyan College as an Adjunct English Instructor and Professional Tutor in the College’s Writing Lab. Working closely with freshmen in their English Composition classes provided him with a strong belief in student advocacy and a sincere desire to help students achieve academic success. In 2003, Scott accepted the position of Pre-Major Advisor and coordinated the WesBridge conditional-acceptance program. This eventually led to his current appointment as Freshman Advantage Coordinator, another selective program for incoming freshmen.

"There are two things I really love about Wesleyan,” he explains. “First, I love the fact that it is a small school with a more personal feel.  Second, I love the people, from the staff and faculty members to the students.  Wesleyan is unique in that it allows for a greater sense of community than students at larger colleges might experience.”

Off campus, Scott enjoys spending time with friends, watching movies and working on seemingly endless creative projects, most of which involve either screenwriting, graphic design or desktop publishing. His favorite films include Pulp Fiction, Ocean’s Eleven, The Usual Suspects and almost anything from Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, M. Night Shyamalan or Quentin Tarantino. Scott is also a student of pop culture and loves to immerse himself in television (“Lost”), music (reggae & ska) and other entertainment mediums.

A native of Roanoke Rapids, NC, Jessie Warren received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 2003.  During her time at UNC-W, Jessie participated in several campus activities including Phi Sigma Pi honor fraternity, the Association for Campus Entertainment, and the National Student Exchange Program wherein she spent a semester studying at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.  Upon graduation Jessie accepted a position as a Media Coordinator at Lewis Advertising in Rocky Mount, NC.  This proved to be a wonderful company to work for and Jessie enjoyed her time there but she truly missed working on a college campus and making a difference in the lives of students.  This passion for working with college students is what prompted her to begin graduate school full-time in August of 2004 at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA.  During her time at ODU, Jessie worked in the Office of Student Activities and Leadership, the Office of Admissions, and the Department of Educational Leadership and Counseling.  She also worked in the Dean of Students Office at Virginia Wesleyan College.  In May 2006, Jessie completed her Master of Science in Education degree with an emphasis on Higher Education and accepted a position with North Carolina Wesleyan College as Pre-Major Advisor and Coordinator of Internships and Career Services.   

Jessie chose the College for her first higher education professional experience because of its close-nit campus community and the many opportunities the position offers to acquire new skills while working closely with students.

In her time away from the College, Jessie serves as the Vice-President for the Young Professionals Netowrk and an Ambassador to the Chamber of Commerce. She also enjoys spending time with her family and her toy poodle puppy, Sassy, in addition to golfing, reading, water sports, volleyball, traveling, camping, photography, and, of course, singing in her car.
