Life can be tricky, and school is even trickier; But with the right tools we can conquer both with confidence. So let's get learning!

At present, I am a first year transfer student at Georgian Court University, studying digital communications.

From August 2016-March 2020- I was enrolled full time at Wagner College. I ultimately withdrew at the onset of COVID-19 pandemic and transferred to Georgian Court University to pursue a degree in digital communications

For a semester I served as the student coordinator of my college's Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD) program. In this role, I was tasked with coordinating meetings with a group of mentors and mentees, leading discussion and providing any assistance and/or insight to faculty within the office. I retained my original responsibilities as a mentor within the program as well, meaning I was responsible to provide assistance, advice and in some instances direct peer tutoring to my mentees. I was also tasked with creating promotional materials for on-campus events and programs.

There is no glory in being a delivery boy, however, I am including this to demonstrate an ability to manage multiple work responsibilities at once during a calendar year. I am also including this to demonstrate the fact that I remained employed as a full-time essential worker throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and maintained the ability to support myself and others, even in less than ideal circumstances

After spending a semester as volunteer contributor, I interned for the student newspaper of Wagner College as a full-time staff writer. In this position, I operated as a reporter for multiple departments within the paper, focusing mainly on sports, politics and on-campus events. Reporting required extensive note-taking, self editing skills, collaboration with editors, the ability to meet a deadline.

As camp leader, my role was to act as an intermediary between campers, counselors and upper management. Responsibilities included but were not limited to: Managing up to 30 adolescents at once, and more on multiple occasions. Advance planning of daily tasks and activities. Conflict management/de-escalation as well as taking disciplinary actions. Responding to any questions, comments or concerns of parents, as well as other staff members. Quick thinking and improvisational skills as well as requiring an overall ability to keep campers engaged and entertained.
