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.

Outside of work, Michael loves exploring New York City and watching different Broadway shows with his friends/family. His favorite Broadway show is "Stranger Things: First Shadow: and his favorite off-Broadway show is "Titanique." Michael is also a huge sports fan and loves visiting Yankee Stadium to watch the “Bronx Bombers”.
Besides the fun stuff, Michael spends a lot of time studying for the LSAT and hopes to attend law school in the near future. When the LSAT questions get to be too much, Michael also enjoys just driving his Toyota GR86 down to Orchard Beach, City Island.
