My name is Michael, and I’m an alumni executive director at Aim. Over the course of five years, I’ve served as a tutor, education director, and executive director. I currently attend Brown University, studying biochemistry and business with the intention of going to medical school. For secondary school, I attended Queens High School for the Sciences at York College. I’m responsible for overseeing the entire organization and guiding the current executive directors to ensure that the program runs smoothly in all sectors. I look forward to working with you all!
