Syracuse University (Masters)
(8/2011-12/2012)
I completed my masters in Information Technology at the iSchool. The program allowed me the opportunity to further refine my technical skills while developing advanced research and project management skills.
Engagement Fellow (Graduate)
(8/2009-5/2010)
The Engagement Fellowship is a program engineered for the students to undertake a year-long project to continue growth in the upsate New York region. Syracuse University has joined with many companies to provide support, courses, and professional partnerships so that the individual fellows can thrive while also benefiting the community. For my year of engagement I worked with BrandYourself.com to continue to build the business while honing my own skills.
