Bio
Michael Munno
Michael was a very positive presence at the College and it was always a pleasure to work with him. He has a great sense of humor and yet is very professional. He is truly a positive asset to any company lucky enough to have him working for them. I highly recommend Michael!
Kent Coules
I would actually check all the above boxes if the the system would let me because all apply. Michael and I had a great working relationship while he was at College of St. Elizabeth and it was a no brainer to have him help my daughter Alexa, who is a senior in high school, help her decide if she was making good choices with the schools she wanted to apply to. Michael made Alexa, and her parents, feel better about her decisions as to where to apply. Michael's approach is a little different than a traditional college counselor, who thinks it is his/her job to get a child into the best possible academic school. Michael gets to know the person and what they really want out of their education to help them find the best places for their circumstances and desired lifestyle. You go Michael!
