Mario has always been drawn to numbers, and his love of mathematics led him to a career in the financial services industry. However, his passion for education and his aspiration to positively impact young people was stronger. He left the corporate world and earned a master of arts in teaching with a specialization in secondary mathematics, as well as teaching licenses for New Jersey and New York. After teaching math and computer science for four years at a public school in New Jersey, Mario is thrilled to be joining the Trinity community. In his free time, Mario likes to exercise, play and watch sports, and complete crossword puzzles with his wife, Katie.
