Alice Story, Associate Director of Student Accounts
My name is Alice Story. I'm the associate director of student accounts at Central Washington University. If I had to describe Flywire's impact in one word, it would be transformational. We currently use Flywire's international payments, 529 payments, and the SFS tuition and collection management system. 

Carolina Barr, Fiscal Analyst
I'm Carolina Barr. I'm a fiscal analyst under finance and administration. We've had positive feedbacks from parents, students, and the staff that works with them. They just really helped our department be able to provide a better service to the students. The implementation process with our collection management system was so successful. The team building together, the information collecting was the best project I've ever worked on. And implementing PeopleSoft systems can be really challenging. And the second that project was over, we immediately wanted to do the next product.
