Dating back to the summer of 2000, Vincent began his career as a technology support specialist at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia. Over the course of the past fifteen years he has served a variety of roles at SCH including Director of Digital Tools, Director of Technology Engagement & Professional Development Coordinator, and Program Director for Computer Science and Interactive Technologies.
