Hi there! My name is Ellen and I am the Early Engagement and Training Graduate Assistant at The Fleishman Center.  I am in my final year of the Student Affairs Administration masters program and hope to have a long professional career working with students like you! I received my undergraduate degree in 2018 from SUNY Oswego in Communication and Social Interaction with minors in Business Administration and Public Justice.  Following my time at Oswego, I spent two years as a Human Resources/Engagement manager for a large retail chain, so I have always been passionate about facilitating connections and creating a positive guest experience. Outside of work, I am a dedicated dog mom to two pups and love spending time outside or working on DIY projects.  I look forward to connecting with you this year!

Hey guys! My name is Dennis Berdecia III and I am double majoring in Financial Economics and Mathematical Science. Fleishman is the first job I got as a freshman and I have loved it since. Now, I am excited to be working as a Senior Peer Consultant this semester. Alongside Fleishman, I am also an RA in Mountainview! It is great to have jobs where you get to meet new people, make great friends, and help so many along the way. Along with my degrees, I plan on leveraging my experience to acquire a job on Wall St. after graduation. Luckily, through hard work I was able to secure an internship at an investment bank this coming summer and plan to do the same in my third year. More experience the better! In the meantime, I do a lot of hobbies on the side. I’m really into gaming, reading (almost 90 books a year), I play guitar, card tricks, and am really into investing. Now, I am just really excited to see where this journey takes me. Who knows what comes next in my professional development?! But, I do know I’ll have Fleishman helping me along the way!
