Connor Balistreri
Education Success Manager

Connor might be the only person on the team who proudly supports our clients with just one screen, but he makes it work! Efficient and focused, he brings a unique style to everything he does.

Outside of work, Connor gets creative by re-editing movies and TV shows. In case you were wondering, his name is a reference to a main character from an 80s fantasy/action film. Ask him about it sometime to see if you recognize the movie.
