Pace "Get to Know You" Spotlight: Interview with Nick Carrozza, newly appointed Staff Representative for our Staff Councils
When did you start at Pace (PT then FT dates)? What attracted you to Pace?
I began working at Pace in 2018 when I was hired as a part-time staff member with the Athletics department in the Goldstein Fitness Center. I was pursuing a career in IT and was working full-time at New York Botanical Garden. I was thrilled when Pace onboarded me to a new role within Information Technology Services full time in 2021.
What has had the greatest impact on your career at Pace so far?
Perhaps what has had the greatest impact, as well as what has been most rewarding, is the opportunity to collaborate with dedicated staff from multiple University areas within my role in ITS. This includes ITS leadership who onboarded and embraced me with my role the past three and half years. I have been privileged to help lead the implementation and development of CRM Advise and OnTrack at the University within ITS, two critical applications to assist staff with student success. Working with and learning from others has contributed greatly to this.
What impact do you hope to make on the Pace community, as Staff Representative?
Starting with my part-time role with Athletics in 2018, I became immediately immersed in the Pace community. I hope that serving as Staff Representative will afford me the opportunity to support the culture of Pace, with an emphasis on giving back and helping others. I hope to contribute to the success of the staff council with respect to this.
Do you have advice for new Pace employees to help them feel not only more confident in their position, but also more engaged overall with our Pace community? If so, what is your advice?
My experiences have taught me that confidence can be fostered through the accumulation of small successes that, over time, become a much larger victory. The ability to reframe any given failure as an opportunity to learn or try something new is also critical to sustainable confidence in anything. I believe that a continuous effort to bring your best self each individual day contributes to this and naturally helps others in your community be enabled to do the same.
Is there a book that has had a meaningful influence on you, personally and/or professionally?
I recommend the book T-Minus AI by Michael Kaanan which has provided an excellent context on both the past development and the present landscape of AI in our daily lives.
Do you have a favorite quote that you would like to share?
“It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen” – John Wooden
What do you enjoy doing in your free time to relax?
I really enjoy reading nonfiction and watching sports.
What would be your ultimate getaway vacation destination?
I like nature so definitely somewhere with a nice outdoor view.
