I'm Nick,

I am an MBA graduate and current Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) candidate with a passion for transforming the higher education landscape. Originally from New York, I relocated to Minnesota in 2023 to continue pursuing my academic and professional goals. My background spans operations management, human resources, and database administration—experiences that have shaped my pragmatic and strategic approach to both education and workforce development.

My career ambition is to become a highly effective educator and trainer, dedicated to helping individuals acquire practical skills that enhance their lives and careers. I specialize in topics such as business, education, human resources, and psychology—subjects that are deeply interconnected with both personal development and organizational success.

At the core of my work in education is a mission to revitalize the higher education system by aligning curricula with the real-world demands of the labor market. I aim to collaborate with local employers to design and implement coursework that directly prepares students for actual roles within their organizations. Much like apprenticeships in the skilled trades, I envision university students gaining hands-on experience and employer-approved training that equips them to provide immediate value in their chosen fields upon graduation. This approach not only builds a competitive edge for graduates but also enhances the reputation and impact of the institutions they attend.
