Bio

Pronouns: he/him/his

I was born and raised in the City of Pittsburgh. I received a BA in Theater with a concentration in Arts Administration from Slippery Rock University and a MBA in Sports, Arts and Entertainment Management from Point Park University. I also received a MA in Education with a focus in Higher Education from the University of Pittsburgh. I’ve been working in higher education since 2016. My hobbies include anything involving entertainment. Movies, theater, amusement parks, etc... I also enjoy writing shorts stories, plays, and screenplays.

I enjoy advising students because helping students navigate their way in a new college setting is vital for them to achieve success. I want to help students unlock their full potential and to become the best version of themselves without forgetting who they are and where they come from. I’m excited to get to know my students, not just their academic interests, but their hobbies and aspirations. It’s important for me to hear my students tell their own stories about achieving success and facing obstacles unapologetically.
