Matt grew up in upstate New York and was interested in science and engineering from a young age, inspired by his father, John. He came to Villanova in 2012 as a presidential scholar enrolled in Mechanical Engineering. During his senior year, he was involved in a water resources project in Madagascar and had the opportunity to visit the country to test the solution. This sparked his interest in sustainability, which he earned his MS degree in at Villanova in 2018. He is now involved in the creation of Villanova's first comprehensive sustainability plan and a research project on the interdependence of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
