About Our Executive Board
We’re a team of parents dedicated to making The Pennington School a place where every student can thrive. From planning events and supporting teachers we’re here to make school life brighter, more connected and a little more fun. We believe that when families and schools work together, amazing things happen!
Born in the Bronx and raised in both Mount Vernon and Yonkers, I bring a strong sense of community and pride in where I come from. As a professional organizer and cleaner , I’ve built a career around creating order, uplifting spaces, and helping others thrive in their environments. More importantly, I’m the proud parent of a vibrant 10-year-old boy who inspires me every day to invest in our children’s future. My passion for helping kids grow, learn, and feel supported is what drives my commitment to the PTA. I believe in teamwork, transparency, and building strong connections between families, staff, and students. I’m honored to serve as your PTA President and look forward to working together to make this school year meaningful and memorable for all our children.
