Responsibilities: I support students in getting transcripts in on time and give general support to the Admissions team to make sure experiences are running smoothly for students. I run the Getting Prepared to Start program for new graduate students.
Why Bank Street: I have a long history with Bank Street. As a graduate of the Family Center and the School for Children I got the full benefit of the Bank Street Graduate School from the vantage point of a child. Some of my favorite memories were with “student teachers” who thoughtfully and lovingly came through our classrooms each year. At the time I didn’t realize they were also students at Bank Street, but as I learned more I came to truly appreciate the hands-on approach that Bank Street provides at the Graduate School. I am thrilled to be supporting the students journey as they continue their teaching education at Bank Street.
Favorite Local Spot:
University Hardware Housewares. This is a classic hardware store at its best. You can find pretty much anything you might need for your apartment here and so much more. Sometimes I go in just to see what hidden treasure I can find that I didn’t know I needed. Way more fun than Amazon.
Experience: I am a graduate from a masters program at Hunter College and fully appreciate the complexity of approaching a graduate degree. I am also a parent of two NYC kids and spend a better part of the year trying to learn as much as I can from our incredible teachers.
