High School

I attended a Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick, Rhode Island. Hendricken is an all-male, catholic preparatory school founded and maintained by the Christian Brothers. It is one of only two single sex catholic schools left in the state. While at Hendricken, I was involved with a variety of extracurricular activities including the varsity ice hockey team. I graduated in the top 10% of my high school class in 1993.

Fairfield University

I enrolled in Fairfield University in the fall of 1993 as a biology major. At the time, I imagined myself becoming a pediatrician. After just getting by in Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and the like, I decided that the pre-med life was not for me. In my sophomore year, I changed to a Psychology major. It was one of the best changes in my life. I also minored in Biology. During my senior year I received two awards: Distinguished Contribution In the Field of Psychology and Most Distinguished Work in the Social Sciences. I graduated from Fairfield in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology.

University of Connecticut (UConn)

After graduating from Fairfield, I decided to take some time off from educational pursuits. I didn't take much time off, a summer and a semester to be exact. In the fall of Spring of 1999, I took one class in the Masters of Public Health (MPH) Program at the University of Connecticut Health Center. The following fall, I matriculated into the MPH program and have been taking evening classes on a part-time basis ever since. I expect to graduate in May of 2002 and am in the process of writing my thesis. I can't wait until its all over!
