About Michael
As the Fordham Career Center’s Assistant Director of Campus Recruiting, Michael works closely with employers in the accounting, banking, finance, legal and sports industries to host coffee chats, employer office visits, information sessions, interview days and more.
Michael’s “bread and butter” are his coffee chat sessions, which are intimate one-on-one sessions that provide the perfect opportunity for students to connect with recruiters and often Fordham alumni directly.
Prior to joining the Career Center’s Employer Relations Team, Michael worked as a Paralegal for a month and a half at a small, family-run law firm. He is a proud Fordham alum, having received his B.A. in Sociology from Fordham College Rose Hill and his M.S. in Management from the Gabelli School of Business.
