DIRECTOR OF BASEBALL ANALYTICS AND ASSISTANT PITCHING COACH
Stevens Institute of Technology Varsity Baseball
As the first student assistant coach in Stevens baseball history, I lead an 8-person analytics team while guiding in all pre and in-game strategic decisions. This includes lineup decisions, opponent scouting, bullpen management, pitch calling as well as being responsible for our defensive alignment now that I am in the dugout. I also oversee all analytical projects including our own internal pitch tracking software and the development of our own Stuff+ model, while being responsible for Blast Motion, AWRE, and Rapsodo data collection. It is my responsibility to communicate data insights to coaches and player, seamlessly translating complex analytics into actionable strategies that drive team performance. I was also responsible for created our player development template that all players received at the end of the fall.
PERFORMANCE ANALYST
Stevens Institute of Technology Varsity Baseball
As a Performance Analyst, I specialized in pitch design and player development, working directly with pitchers during bullpen sessions using Rapsodo to optimize arsenal effectiveness. During games, I would be in the stands charting pitches and results and identifying performance trends to share after the game. It was my role to bridge the gap between data and practical application on the field without being in the dugout.
ASSISTANT TRAVEL BASEBALL COACH
MVP South Shore
Over the last three summers, I coached the same team through their young careers from 13U–15U, designing practice plans, directing pitching development, and creating individualized player improvement strategies that progressed with the team's advancing level of competition and age. I look forward to continuing to coach these guys again this summer.

GROUP SALES REPRESENTATIVE
New York Mets
In this role, I gained insight into MLB business operations while having the ability to connect with individuals on the baseball operations side of the organization. I got to learn from these generous individuals what their role and responsibilities look like, skills to build, and career advice for breaking into baseball operations. I also strengthened my communication abilities as I often collaborated across multiple teams and departments. I learned the importance of organization as I completely overhauled our inventory management system for promotional items.
SALES AND SERVICE INTERN
New York Islanders
As an intern with the Islanders, I managed inventory operations for premium merchandise including signed jerseys, pucks, helmets, and sticks while creating comprehensive performance reports using Excel with Salesforce data. I was tracking sales representative hustle metrics and event revenue to support management's decision-making.
August 2022-May 2024
NCAA DIVISION III STUDENT ATHLETE
SUNY New Paltz
I started my college career as a right-handed pitcher for SUNY New Paltz throughout my freshman and sophomore year. I contributed to the program's first ever conference championship in 2024 earning an automatic qualifying bid to the NCAA Regionals. I also earned a spot on the SUNYAC Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll both years. Through this experience, I developed my expertise in pitch mechanics, pitch grips, pitch sequencing, and player development while gaining firsthand exposure to different coaching philosophies, all of which helped to form my own approach to player evaluation and skill development.
