Tamara Devon Haynie Cooper

Retention Specialist

I became a Seahawk in 2021 as a graduate student and then joined the Student Success and Retention team in the summer of 2024. My educational accomplishments include an AS in Graphic Design, a BS in Mathematics, and an MS in Mathematics. My role as Retention Specialist is focused on developing retention insights through data analysis and research. Prior to joining the team, I built a career in the tech industry in many roles including QA, technical content developer, program manager, and product analyst. My passion for research and data analysis brought me to UNCW to learn new techniques. I am excited to dig into the data and start helping students succeed and meet their educational goals.
