ABOUT ALLEN PUSKAR

I have graduated from the School of Management on Binghamton University\'s campus with a Masters in Business Administration. I was able to enroll in the 1-year MBA program, which included rigorous course work beginning in the Summer semesters and continued into the Fall and Spring. Prior to this, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences from Binghamton University as well. With this opportunity, I was able to graduate a year early and pursue graduate studies within 4 years of attending the university.During my collegiate years, I have been able to be a part of Harpur\'s Ferry Student Volunteer Ambulance Service as an EMT-B. I was able to respond to 911 calls on Binghamton University\'s campus along with mutual aid to Broome County. With this opportunity, I was also able to take on a more administrative and operational roles. I was able to serve on two membership committees, fundraising and events committee, serve as a Wellness Advocate, Stop-the-Bleed Coordinator, Financial Deputy, and Personnel Deputy during my time at the organization. I have also been able to work as a Graduate Assistant at Services for Students with Disabilities. This opportunity has allowed me to provide equitable education access to individuals disclosed with a disability. In my role, I assisted with trainings involving different softwares and note-taking accommodations. Along with this, I was able to provide written contents in Braille for students with visual impairments consisting of textbooks, exams, and even bingo cards! Outside the classroom, I have been able to work at Driver\'s Village, a vehicle supercenter, in both service and sales for almost 6 years. Here, I was able to provide exceptional customer services and build rapport with customers regardless of their needs walking in to the showroom. This opportunity has allowed me to build connections both personally and professionally with clientele and my coworkers. It has also allowed me to build confidence in giving reports and challenges me to think outside the box in some situations, while also keeping customer needs in mind. In the future, I plan to take these skills that I have learned in order to progress my professional career in Business Administration. With my experience in direct patient care, human services, and business, I am looking for opportunities that would best encompass the skillset learned throughout these experiences.
