        Treasurer

        My motto "Focus on bettering yourself rather than what everyone else is doing. People are always changing so be the example you want to see."

        Outside of work I can be found reading the Bible, cooking delicious meals, taking as many vacations as possible, and dancing the night away at her favorite Zumba Classes!!

          Board of Director

          Growing up in the dynamic heart of NYC, I embraced my faith in Jesus Christ from a young age, nurturing a meaningful personal relationship with Him. My passion for community issues led me to dedicate over thirty years to teaching in NYC Public Schools, where I had the privilege of impacting many lives before my retirement. As I look back on my journey, the principles of faith and service remain significant to me.
