Currently: Senior Management Partner at Integrated Management Services on Wall Street New York.

Previously: While working as a Data Networking Account Executive for AT&T, I was interested in extending my technical as well as managerial knowledge to improve my value added consulting capabilities for clients I served. At the time, Stevens had a partnership with AT&T. I had recently moved to Hoboken and the convenience of attending Stevens with funding support from AT&T was too good to pass up. As I began doing the degree, I found that the balance of the educational experience and my work experience was greatly increasing my understanding and capacity to perform as a highly trained expert in the field. What started as a convenient method for increasing my experience has become a cornerstone to my personal professional business plan. The Stevens education has taught me the foundational technology skills need to establish credibility within the IT field and the management skills to take ideas to another level impressing my clients and my professional networks. During the summer, I decided to complete my master degree by doing a Thesis study. I plan on leveraging this research to begin speaking and presenting at professional conferences and increasing my professional credibility as I begin to embark on a new venture to start an IT consulting firm.
