Alberto graduated high school in Westfield, New Jersey. That fall, he started his first semester at Iona College.

Alberto would go on to be the first intern and tasked with advocating for the institute's involvement with disruptive technology.
Alberto originally became involved with the Hynes Institute after attending one of the workshops held at Gael Ventures (campus incubator). Shortly after, he decided to apply and was selected to join the team. He developed an interest in developing a welcoming environment for technology and innovation in education. Alberto collaborates with students and professors to design and prototype class projects and business ventures using the campus' 3D printer.
