Education

Bachelor Of Science in Information Technology & Web Science with Business Analytics dual degree - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Troy, NY

As a student athlete at RPI I spend about 25 hours a week in team related activities like practice, film, and team lifts. On top of this commitment I maintain a 3.67 GPA in RPI's ITWS program that is currently the number 2 IT program in the country (According to Niche and College Choice). Another program I am proud to be apart of at RPI is the RPISEC team. This is RPI's Cybersecurity team. We practice different forms of security and penetration testing to gain a greater understanding of cybersecurity. Team RPISEC won first place in CSAW’s 2018 Capture the Flag competition of over 40,000 competitors. As a sophomore at RPI I founded RPI's first RPI real-estate investing club. In this club we explore the many different forms of real-estate investing and run the numbers to decide if a property is worth investing in. With this we also bring in guest speakers that are currently investing.

Advanced Regents Diploma with Distinction in Science and Math - North Babylon High School

North Babylon, NY

As a young driven high school student athlete that was intrisically motivated I was highly involved in school activities. As a high school athlete I was apart of the varsity Basketball, Football and Lacrosse teams. On top of being a three sport athlete I was apart of a variety of clubs including Model UN, Leaders club, Students for a better world, Mathletes, and Student Government. In student government I served as the class president, in this role I organized class fundraisers, and often facilitated roles amongst the other cabinet members for events. On top of this full activity sheet I also participated in a multitude of community service activities. Being in National Honor Society you are given the oppurtunity to participate in many community events. The most memorable community service program I was apart of was big brothers, big sisters. In this program I was given the oppurtunity to mentor a young troubled kid from the same elementary school I went to and act as a form of guidance and direction.
