Carmel, Ind. – The Phired Up team has grown this week with the addition of three new part-time Growth Consultants to the team. Seneca Crump, Colleen Kelty, and Elena Pastore joined the Phired Up Training Team on May 1st, and will work with organizations and communities across North America to deliver Phired Up trainings and consultations.
“Seneca, Colleen, and Elena represent the future of our training team,” said RJ Taylor, Phired Up’s CEO. “Like most elements of our industry, students are asking for training to evolve. They are asking for less ‘talking at them’ and more ‘side-by-side hands-on learning’. They want to learn practical skills from professionals with recruiting experience and to use technology that helps get them results. I’m confident that Elena, Seneca, and Colleen bring the relatable experience students are craving to our growing team of organizational growth experts.”
Seneca Crump earned his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Mississippi, where he joined his fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. After earning his Master’s Degree from Western Kentucky University in Student Affairs and Higher Education, he became the Coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life at The Ohio State University. Currently, he is the Assistant Director for Fraternity and Sorority Leadership Development at the University of Southern California.
“Seneca is passionate about moving the needle in our fraternal community. He brings forth a strategic mindset that helps students broaden their perspectives and approaches to growth,” said Tenea McGhee, Phired Up’s Director of Growth (CBFO Specialist).” I look forward to seeing how his talents will allow us to broaden outreach efforts for CBFO and collective communities”
Seneca has also served as the former Great Lakes Regional Director of Collegiate Affairs for Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and enjoys musical forms of art, road tripping, cooking and grilling, directing and teaching choirs, playing card games, and college football. When asked about joining the Phired Up team, Seneca said, “I am so Phired Up about joining this team, so I can be a part of elevating the purpose and value of the fraternity and sorority experience through my own personal growth story! I am more excited about impacting and driving growth for our fraternal partners nationwide! #LetsGoLetsGrow #MomentsWithSen.”
