As the assistant lacrosse coach of Scranton Preparatory School, I assist in the various processes and procedures associated with scheduling and facilitating practices and games, the coordination of team events, and managing our program's continual relationship with the surrounding media community. Within my role as a coach with Scranton Preparatory School, I exhibit a strong passion toward the growth and development of young men through experiences I have had as an athlete and a student throughout my life.

As a Community Health Education employee at Geisinger Health System, my main role is to deliver health information and education within school districts to children relating to obesity, nutrition, and well-being through a grant provided by "Kohl's Care Movement for Health." Our program focuses on providing children with knowledge regarding proper physical activity, fulfilling the food pyramid, and realizing the consequences of what foods and liquids we consume in every day life. In addition, I also assist my supervisor with the management and control measures of the medical record software "KeyHie." Keystone Health Information Exchange is a computer software that can be purchased by health systems that will allow them to access and share imperative patient information and creates coordinatiom with other participating health systems. KeyHie is a essential component to the evolving nature of the healthcare environment.

In my undergraduate studies at the University of Scranton, I majored in Health Administration with a minor in Business as well as Counseling. In my undergraduate experience, I also played varsity lacrosse, and was elected team captain for two consecutive years by my peers and coaches. I have completed my undergraduate academics at the top of my graduating class, and am now pursuing a Masters Degree at the University of Scranton for Health Administration.
