About Michael
I have worked in higher education since 2016, starting at the University of Denver where I was a Gifts & Records Processing associate in the Advancement department. In 2020, I began as the Operations & Finance Coordinator for the Department of Social Work at Metropolitan State University of Denver. In my time at MSU, I managed departmental purchasing and expenses, faculty and staff travel, and worked with PI’s, in concert with the central Controller’s office, to monitor grant budgets and expenditures. In 2023, I moved on to the University of Colorado Foundation as a Gift Compliance Lead. In this position I worked with advancement staff from all 4 campuses in the CU system on the drafting and review of large charitable gift agreements, charitable grant agreements, and the ensuring compliance on fund maintenance and expenditure. On February 17th, 2025 I began my current position as a Grants & Contracts Analyst for the Department of Chemistry in the Physical Sciences Division at the University of Chicago.
