Who is Michael?

I spent a decade working in hospitality before deciding to pursue higher education—and I’m glad that my non-traditional path has found me at Illinois Tech. The community here at the university has been so welcoming, and every day I am reaffirmed as to why my decision to attend Illinois Tech was the right one.

That’s Interesting

I am a part of the university’s stormwater research group, investigating inequalities in stormwater infrastructure across Chicago. Working in research has been such a rewarding experience. I've learned so much from my mentors, and I’ve even been able to present our findings to water science experts at conferences across the country.
