Bio
Mark Kozitka
I have had the good fortune and pleasure of working with Sarthak during his time at Penn State University. Sarthak's ever-expanding curiosity and drive are reflected in the quality of his work and relationships. Sarthak continually provides an innovative and fresh approach to his projects along with a critical thinking and design thinking lens. Sarthak's ability to synthesize and present complex material into accessible deliverables allows him to lead cross-sector projects. Sarthak would be an invaluable asset to any industry or workplace, and it is with the greatest of pleasures and sincerity that I fully recommend and support Sarthak in his work and future endeavors.

Sarthak has a keen attention to detail, knack for turning problems into opportunities, and thorough communication skills. As his previous manager, I have first-hand experience with Sarthak’s strategic thinking skills and ability to find opportunities to improve business processes. While under my supervision, Sarthak developed the foundational process in Excel that enabled hundreds of student employees to be paired with Penn State faculty seeking technology support during the height of the pandemic. Our program benefitted from Sarthak’s skills and drive and would have not been successful without him.
