Me, Myself and Casey

Hello! Thank you for visiting Casey's IT Blog!  My name is Casey and I am from Raleigh, NC.  I graduated from Leesville Road High School and I am currently a senior at East Carolina University studying Business, Management Information Systems.  My first MIS class was freshman year of college and right then knew MIS was a perfect fit!

Last summer I was provided with the opportunity from Credit Suisse for an internship.  I worked with a group of 6 interns building a web application.  It was the most challenging and rewarding experience I have ever had!  In August of this year I received the best news, a job opportunity to work for Credit Suisse as part of the Technical Analyst program!  This is an absolute dream come true to work for such a great company!

Cheerleading is a passion of mine.  I was a cheerleader since the 3rd grade and was on the varsity cheerleading team at East Carolina University.  Cheerleading at ECU was so much fun and a very beneficial experience for me.  Working out/team activities 30 plus hours a week plus school work provided me with great time management skills.
My freshman year of college I joined Alpha Delta Pi Sorority.  This ended up being one of the best decisions I have made thus far!  I gained 100 girls to call my best friends!  I knew right when I started ADPi that I would enjoy taking on a leadership position.  I became the president of my pledge class as a new member.  I enjoyed that position so much that I took on Director of Standards and Ethics as a sophomore.  Holding an executive position within the sorority as a younger member gained me the confidence and guidance to take on President.  Being president I learned how to delegate (which was a hard task to learn at first! :) ), great leadership skills (I even got to attend 3 different week long semester all over the United States), and problem solving/risk management skills.

Through Alpha Delta Pi I have been able to get really involved in the Ronald McDonald house.  The local RMH in Greenville is a place I visit very often.  I love to take the families cookies and hang in the downstairs TV room with them hearing each one of the families stories.  Last year ADPi raised close to $2,500 for the RMH!
