A Brief History
An ever-evolving timeline of my life from 2009 onward
2009
I chose to enroll at the University of Connecticut as an Honors student after graduating from Weston High School, where I served as President of the Senior Class.
I got involved in a variety of organizations my freshman year, including Undergraduate Student Government, but after pledging the Upsilon Kappa Chapter of my fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, I knew Greek Life was where I wanted to devote my time.
2010
Inspired by my love of startups, gadgets, mobile, social,
and everything in between, I decided to major in Management Information Systems in my second semester.
At the beginning of my sophomore year, I gained two leadership roles within Greek Life. In my own chapter I was elected Secretary and on the community level I was elected to be the Interfraternity Council's VP of Financial Affairs.
2011
I got my first internship the summer of my sophomore year. I spent 10 weeks at Estee Lauder's global headquarters in New York City as a Travel Retail Marketing intern, where I was tasked with planning and executing the first mobile initiative within the department.
After a year of performing my duties as Secretary, I was elected to be President of my fraternity. My year-long term was split between leading a chapter of 94 brothers and helping shape the direction of Greek Life at UConn externally.
In November of my junior year I was offered an internship within General Electric's prestigious Information Technology Leadership Program. I spent the following summer in Trevose, PA working as part of GE's Global Infrastructure Services on our IP phone systems.
2012
Following my internship, I was offered a full-time position within the program. After graduation I will spend 2 years work 4 different jobs within the Corporate IT department. I'm excited to take advantage of all the opportunities GE offers as a global leader in technology.
