My faith in God has been the cornerstone of my life since childhood and continues to guide both my personal and professional decisions. Raised in a devout Catholic family where Sunday Mass was never missed, I grew up witnessing my father's dedication as a Eucharistic Minister while actively participating as an altar server and choir member. My foundation of faith was strengthened through Bible camps and has only deepened as an adult through serving as a Lector, Bible study group leader, Catechist, OCIA teacher, and Eucharistic Minister. These ministries have enriched my spiritual life while developing my leadership, teaching, and pastoral care abilities. Professionally, I have built a distinguished eight-year career in executive support and administrative leadership across municipal government, corporate enterprises, and educational institutions. Currently serving as Executive Assistant to the Comptroller for the Town of Greenwich, I manage complex operations supporting a $400+ million municipal budget. My career began as Administrative Assistant to the Dean of the Business School at Mercy College and has progressed through increasingly responsible roles supporting union leadership and corporate executives. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Management with honors from Mercy College and am completing my Master of Public Administration degree at the University of New Haven with only one course remaining. This academic foundation, combined with my extensive experience in executive support, budget management, project coordination, and stakeholder relations, has equipped me with skills to contribute meaningfully to faith-based organizations. My faith is not merely a personal belief but the driving force behind my commitment to service, integrity, and excellence. I believe my professional skills—administrative management, confidential matter resolution, multi-stakeholder coordination, and team leadership—are gifts from God meant to serve His Kingdom. I am actively seeking a career path and organization that will not only welcome my strong Catholic faith but share in those beliefs and values, creating an environment where I can integrate my professional capabilities with my spiritual calling. I am drawn to opportunities where I can contribute to the Church's mission while utilizing my administrative expertise and pastoral experience to support faith-based initiatives, Catholic education, or Church operations. My goal is to find a position where my love for God, dedication to Catholic values, and professional skills work together to advance the Gospel and serve our Catholic community.

Hillary Kipngeno Bett is a mechanically minded and results-driven engineering professional based in Nairobi, Kenya. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical and Production Engineering from Moi University (2024), where he graduated with Second Class Honours (Upper Division). Hillary is set to begin his Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering this fall, enriching his strong foundation with advanced knowledge. Hillary has hands-on experience in high-paced industrial manufacturing, having contributed at British American Tobacco Kenya both as a Technical Trainee Operator (July 2025–Present) and as a Manufacturing Apprentice (October 2024–June 2025). He specializes in process optimization, waste reduction, and the application of statistical process control. Notably, he achieved a 48% reduction in cigarette tipping paper waste by optimizing changeover thresholds and played a key role in loss elimination initiatives that improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and reduced machine rate loss. His problem-solving abilities are reinforced by frequent use of methodologies such as IPS, Why-Why, and 6W2H analysis. Earlier attachments at Sohan Singh Josh & Sons and the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute gave him practical exposure to preventive maintenance, machine setup, and fabrication of energy-efficient stoves and agro-processing equipment. He is skilled in CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), finite element analysis, 3D printing, and rapid prototyping, with proficiency in MATLAB and key Microsoft Office applications. His final year project—a semi-trailing arm suspension system designed in SolidWorks and analyzed with ANSYS—demonstrated his engineering acumen, proposing an innovative alternative to traditional leaf springs for Kenyan three-wheelers, promising smoother rides and enhanced dynamic performance. Known for his teamwork, commitment to continuous improvement, and communication with cross-functional teams, Hillary is eager to further his expertise and contribute creatively to mechanical engineering challenges.

As an Economist at the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), I am committed to aiding policy makers, industry leaders, and researchers by compiling trustworthy, expedient, and relevant economic statistics, and by ceaselessly searching for opportunities to improve data. As an economist by both trade and spirit, I am passionate about fostering long-term economic growth and improving the standard of living. Consequently, I have spent the last 10 years developing expertise on both sides of the research aisle. My strengths include: - Data Processing & Analytics: I have 4+ years of applied work experience meticulously examining and generating reliable national statistics while actively identifying, proposing, and executing methodological improvements. - Programming: I am proficient in Python, STATA, FAME, SAS, SQL, and R.

My academic history has well prepared me to meaningfully collaborate with those who share this vision. I earned a MS in Economics from Tufts University (2020), where I researched how cultural barriers inhibited technological adoption, and consequently, economic development for the Soviet Bloc during and following the Cold War. This enabled me to explore the intriguing intersection of culture, technology, and economic growth, further fueling my dedication to this field. In 2018, I graduated from the University of San Diego with a BA in Economics, complemented by a History Minor. During my time there, I investigated the impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth, which refined my programming and analytical abilities. The foundation for my collegiate career was solidly established during my studies at the College of Southern Nevada, where I earned an AA in Economics (2016).
