Assistant Principals Welcome

I’m truly honored to serve as the Assistant Principal at MSTA. This year marks my 12th year as an educator, and I’m proud to say all of those years have been right here in my home borough, The Bronx. It’s the place that raised me, shaped me, and continues to inspire the work I do every day.

One of the things I care most about is helping students see themselves as leaders—not just in the classroom, but in life. My hope is that they’ll grow into adults who come back to their communities, just like I did, ready to make a difference. I believe deeply in the power of education to change lives, and I’m committed to supporting our students as they grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals.

I’m excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to see all the amazing things we’ll accomplish together.

Hello, MSTA community.  This is my 19th year as a Bronx educator and my 3rd year with the MSTA community. Before taking on this role as Assistant Principal, I was a proud middle school math teacher for over 15 years, and my mission is to make math engaging and accessible to all learners while making connections to real world experiences. And, as a lifelong Bronx resident, I love sharing the magic of NYC - the greatest city in the world - with all of our students.
