Number of Years working at East Ramapo: 8
Background: I moved to Rockland 21 years ago. My life before being a Family Resource Coordinator was in fashion. I worked in Manhattan’s garment district since high school. Working with children daily was new and different. I enjoy my job because it allows us to show our support and help whenever possible. It also allows us to give to the families in the way of having fun events they can participate in.
Languages Spoken: English
Favorite FRC Event and why: "My favorite and most rewarding FRC event is the Holiday Feast. Even though it’s been a drive thru for the past two years, our families get a hot meal and a bag of non-perishable food to take home. Every student receives a gift in the form of a toy or a gift card based on their age. Prior to Covid 19, families got to sit and enjoy their hot meal while listening to holiday music and got to take pictures with Santa. I believe their favorite part was the gift and face painting since they waited in long lines to get it done."
