Chris Riley
Since Graduating Dublin School in 2010, I have gotten my undergraduate
degree in Special Education from Goucher College, where I was able
to continue to develop my leadership skills. In addition to just getting
my degree at Goucher, I worked with the men’s tennis team through a
number of building years, I held up to 3 editorial positions on the student
newspaper staff, and have also studied abroad. In the summer of 2013 I
was able to study abroad for a month in South Africa with 14 other students
where we taught reading and phonics in a rural and township school.
After graduating college I got a job working at a school in Towson, MD,
as a computer teacher. I was in that position for 2 school years until I was
moved to my current job in the IT department. I am also working towards a
couple of certifications within the IT field to one day own and operate my
own technology consulting business . . .
