Often referred to as "The Mayor", Anthony was very excited to learn something new when he heard he earned an internship in the GIS Department. This was a huge deal to Anthony because he worked extremely hard to earn his internship. He admits his time management skills needed work but he developed them through his internship. He believes that he makes smarter decisions now and that his decision-making skills were developed during those 6 months, "I think before I make that move....".
He would tell future interns to practice good time management, stay focused, and be on top of your game. He credits GIS Director Luis Olivieri with giving him the skill of navigation through a GPS app and he now uses it in his everyday travel. "I will never get lost".
