BA in History from SUNY Geneseo and MS in Public Policy and Management from Carnegie Mellon University
Currently, I am a Digital Business Integration Senior Analyst with Accenture in New York City. I help implement new IT and data systems for government, healthcare, and private agencies across the country. Eventually, I hope to use that experience to exclusively work in the public sector at the state or local level
Geneseo’s History Department shaped my ideologies and capabilities in a number of ways. I learned how to write (professionally, academically, concisely, and in detail), I learned how to research (how to be thorough and driven), I learned how to critically think (when to question others as well as myself), and I learned what contributions I wanted to make in the world.
I appreciate that education on a daily basis. My dozens of term papers and their thousands of pages have left me a better writer than most of my peers. The work effort I put in while writing them has also helped me become a more efficient and effective worker. Ultimately, however, my most valuable takeaway from Geneseo’s History Department is how I approach problems and challenges, personal and professional. When approaching challenges, I maintain the critical lens of a historian. That includes both its skepticism and curiosity as well as its creativity and rigor. My history degree does not specifically make me a better IT worker, but it has made me a better citizen, a better person, and a better employee. I have benefited from its influence early on in my career and look forward to where it will take me in the future.
