What I Do:

My company provides full wireless consulting services for clients to assist them with their wireless needs. From site surveys to security audits to wireless consulting, our firm helps clients design the most efficient and effective wireless solution for their needs. I manage all accounts receivables and accounts payable, reconcile all accounts and supporting schedules and prepare monthly financials for the firm. I also maintain and monitor all cash investments, fix asset management and assist in preparation of year-end tax forms. I review sales contracts and SLA Maintenance agreements and oversee Human Resources. When the firm first began, I implemented the accounting policies and procedures, in addition to the accounting software the firm uses.

How I Got Here:

I’ve worked with the Chief Financial Officer of Wirelesss Information Networks for 7 years at two jobs prior to when he started this one. I have pretty much followed him into his new ventures!

How RMU Helped Me Prepare for my Career:

Robert Morris University promotes strong business ethics and professionalism among the student body. The eagerness and enthusiasm that instructors brought to the classroom, along with their real world case projects, gave me hands-on experience.
As a transfer student, RMU was the only college that accepted all my credits from different colleges and universities I had attended. Thanks to the accelerated program, I was able to graduate in the least amount of time. RMU helped me get focused and stay on track!

Advice to Current Students:

The workplace is very competitive! Do well in school and if you can, try to get some sort of work experience in your field before graduating. Internships are a great place to start!
