Fun Facts

Beyond my passion for working with and for educational institutions, I am deeply passionate about basketball, hip-hop, and domestic politics. However, I get the most joy out of learning from and with others!

I have lived in NYC for the past 8 years and spent the past seven in Staten Island, where I currently work. Prior to living in New York, I spent 18 years in South Florida.

About Me

I am a lifelong learner, educator, and lover of knowledge!

I recently received my Masters in Higher Education and Leadership Organizations, with a specific focus on experiential learning and civic engagement in American colleges and universities.

I hope to use my wide array of experience in different educational settings to benefit as many students as possible.

Experience

I am an experienced educator with a demonstrated history of working with and for educational institutions. My professional career has been primarily focused on student development, engagement, and leadership. Through this lens, I have had the pleasure of serving as the Associate Director for Student Engagement at Wagner College. Currently, I work as the Program Director for NYCID at Concord High School in Staten Island, New York.

Approach

I believe firmly in learning by doing. As someone who struggled throughout my early education, I have found through personal experience and my own graduate school research, that students perform best when they are able to take ownership of their learning experience. To this extent, I aim to develop interest and comfort with the subject material before delving into the details. Through this method, I find students are able to approach their work with the necessary confidence to succeed.
