La Salle University
Location: Stoughton, MA
Major(s): 4-year BS/MBA in Accounting
Current Role: Vice President, Property Consulting at Navigate Sports & Entertainment
What activities was the Nominee involved with as a student?
During my time at La Salle, I was enrolled in the accelerated four-year BS/MBA Accounting program within the School of Business. I was a four-year student-athlete on the La Salle Men’s Baseball Team and actively engaged in School of Business programming, including supporting the annual career fair and assisting with various school events (tutoring events at local schools, recruiting events, speakers, etc.). I was also a consistent participant in the Lasallian Day of Service, contributing through both the School of Business and the baseball program. In addition, I worked on campus as part of the Recreation Department. I was involved in the Accounting Association and the Beta Gamma Sigma Business Honor Society, where I served two years as Vice President of the La Salle chapter.
How has the Nominee remained active or engaged with the University as an alumnus/a since graduation?
Since graduating, I have remained actively engaged with La Salle in several capacities. Early in my career at KPMG, I regularly returned to campus to participate in recruiting events and speak with students about careers in accounting and consulting. Through my continued relationship with the School of Business, including collaboration with Kristin Wentzel and Penelope Grob, I later served as an adjunct faculty member teaching Managerial Accounting to MBA students from March 2022 through August 2023.
During my time with the Philadelphia Eagles, I also helped facilitate La Salle internship opportunities, bringing two La Salle students into the organization. More recently, in my current role in sports consulting, I have returned to campus to speak with student groups such as the Business of Sports Club and have participated in the Explorers for Life Mentorship Program within the Athletic Department. In addition, I regularly connect with BS/MBA students for networking and career mentorship, typically speaking with 7-10 students each year through referrals from the School of Business.
Why does the Nominee want to serve on the Alumni Board of Directors?
I have a deep connection to “Explorers for Life” – La Salle played such a foundational role in both my personal and professional journey, and I feel a strong responsibility to give back to the institution that opened so many doors for me. The mentorship and support I received from faculty and staff helped me secure my first role after graduation, and the La Salle alumni network has continued to shape my career. Alumni like Andrea Sorli were instrumental in helping me break into the sports industry, reinforcing the power of the La Salle community.
I also remain deeply grateful for the guidance of mentors such as Penelope Grob and for the lasting relationships I maintain with many classmates and members of the La Salle community. Serving on the Alumni Board would allow me to help strengthen those connections and support the next generation of Explorers. La Salle opened doors for me, and I would welcome the chance to help open those same doors for future students and alumni.
Is there any other information you would like to share with the nomination committee of the Alumni Association Board of Directors?
I would like the committee to know that my commitment to La Salle extends beyond formal roles or titles. Whether through mentorship, teaching, speaking engagements, or facilitating job opportunities, I have consistently tried to give back to the La Salle community in meaningful ways. I hope to bring a combination of professional experience in accounting, consulting, and sports business, along with a deep understanding of the value of alumni connections and student development. My goal would be to leverage these experiences to strengthen alumni engagement, expand opportunities for current students, and help ensure La Salle continues to be a place where students can thrive academically, professionally, and personally.
