Biography

My name is Matthew Hrusecky. I’ve been an on and off college student for many years now. I graduated from Maine Endwell High School in June of 2005. I was truly appreciative of a Photography course I took while in high school and it gave me a desire to be creative and appreciate what I was learning. I enjoyed staying to myself as I felt the true person I was could not flourish while walking the halls of a high school. In my mind it seems like I graduated high school just yesterday, but this was in fact 15 plus years ago now. I decided to go to Broome Community College as the location was within my hometown and I wanted to remain local with all of my family that lives in the area. I was unsure as to what direction to go in when I graduated high school and I only knew at the time to remain true to my interests and follow a path where I could gain more knowledge. Photography, media, filmmaking, audio theory. These are just a few of the courses I would be able to take while seeking my Associates in Communications & Media Arts. In 2008, I successfully earned my Associates in Communications & Media Arts and it truly was a gift to have achieved that goal and to have been successful. At this point in my life I was working at Panera Bread and I had been seeking a new job for quite some time. I successfully was able to find a job with Visions Federal Credit Union in the Fall of 2011 as a full time Member Service Representative. In the time since I started to work for a new company, I had dropped my hours down to part time in the Fall of 2016. I was going through a rough patch in life and needed some time to reevaluate where I stood and what I felt I needed to do. In this time I was able to start to work towards my associates in Business Information Management and this upcoming Spring Semester in 2021, I will be taking my final course. The decision to go in this avenue was one of remembering that I work for a company that cares about my education and wants to see my knowledge grow and expand. The classes and degree itself do relate to my current position and will be an excellent resume builder when seeking a new job within my current company. The advantage of having this degree is that it’s very universal. I can stay within my current company or seek employment elsewhere. In the end I can still appreciate my passion for creativity, as well as to make a living with the proper educational background. To feel that I’m utilizing both worlds in my life as I continue on this journey.
