Pete is currently in his second year with ACCESS.  Originally from New Jersey, he earned a B.A. in International Relations from Tufts University in 2003. Upon graduation, he served as an AmeriCorps*VISTA in Worcester, MA through the organization Massachusetts Campus Compact.

He subsequently worked for two years as the first Community Outreach Coordinator at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.  This experience working on the university level, combined with his passion for working with young people, led Pete to ACCESS.  Pete has also been a Big Brother in the Big Brothers of Massachusetts Bay program for over seven years, and is a socially-conscious musician and spoken word poet.
