Special thanks to Mauricio Morales ’15 Cockroach Labs, Commercial Account Executive, Northeast for serving as Alumni Virtual Speaker!
Career Readiness Shark Success Story was hosted by Phi Theta Kappa, Alpha Delta Gamma chapter co-Sponsored by Suffolk County Community College Alumni Association.
Future alumni Luis Castillo, President of Phi Theta Kappa, Alpha Delta Gamma chapter introduced Mr. Morales to the audience and began the virtual program.
During the session guests learned about college transfer, entrepreneurship and career path decisions from a former student leader that had been involved with the Michael J. Grant Campus – Student Government Association, Deans Council, Computer Science Club and Sigma Kappa Delta Honor Society for English language and literature. Following Mauricio’s Commencement from Suffolk County Community College he transferred to SUNY Binghamton completing a degree in Political Science. Along the way Mr. Morales developed a mobile app Tibah to encourage healthy habits and exercise. As a student entrepreneur Mauricio gained valuable skills in technology development, marketing and project management. Curiosity and persistence mark Mauricio’s journey from Brentwood, NY throughout New York state with business development travels to Minnesota and California at various stages. Currently sitting at the intersection of technology and business guests learned about key skills, books and habits that could help excel in technology recruiting, business and various aspects of life.
Professor Lisa Hamilton graciously shared a recollection of Mauricio as a student leader at Suffolk and questioned how students can develop confidence to further embrace leadership.
Encouraging students and alumni to follow their passions Morales stated, “Suffolk and Student Government Association helped me realize there is another world for me.”
