Alberto joined the Young Scholars team as a Site Assistant at Proctor High School in 2024. A 2020 Utica University graduate with a B.A. in Computer Science, he first worked with the Young Scholars team as a TA for the summer program in 2016. He stayed in touch and worked with the program during his undergraduate years at Utica University. After moving to pursue career opportunities, Alberto returned as a Proctor Site Assistant. Time away from academia only grew his passion for emboldening the confidence and strength of students, a passion that Utica University and Young Scholars initially sparked. Alberto is pursuing a masters in education from Utica University in hopes of paying back all that Young Scholars did for him as a student.

From student to mentor, Alberto’s journey with Young Scholars reflects his dedication to empowering future generations.

Welcome to the team, Alberto!
