I have been a "connector" for industry and education for over five years. Over these past five years my job has been to help southwest Pennsylvania technology companies succeed by:
- Speaking up to 30 times per year to college and high school students about the benefits of the technology industry and the importance of STEM education
- Recruit interns for small technology companies
- Find funding for small technology companies to off set the cost of hiring interns
- Developing comprehensive internship programs for small technology companies
- Plan and execute on large conferences
- Arrange for company tours
- MC smaller career development events for students
- Work with the foundation and government community to fund projects that helped partner education and industry.
- Raise sponsorship dollars to fund network activities
Currently I am working with a small technology company in Pittsburgh, EduLink Inc, www.edulinkinc.com. We offer technology solutions to the K-12, higher education and municipal government community.
In addition to EduLink I will be creating innovative career development resources for students and recent graduates to help them find their passion in life and not their job!

EduLink opened its doors in June of 1998 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Since then, we have worked with every size client you can imagine from large organizations with thousands of employees as well as small organizations with just a handful of employees. After all of this time and all of these clients, what have we learned? We’ve learned that it is all about people… the people we serve. We have also learned to keep it simple… developing systems that are practical, professional, and easy to use.
