Summary
I am a trained social scientist and educator, with a Master's Degree in Sociology and Education. The majority of my professional experience has been spent in the classroom as a teacher of higher education. Before that, I dedicated five years to The YMCA of Greater New York as a counselor, program director, supervisor, and training facilitator. Most recently, I worked at Stony Brook Renaissance School of Medicine, Graduate Medical Education, as a Residency Program Coordinator where I managed the residency and fellowship programs of surgical trainees in five separate programs. I am extremely invested in anything I do. I take tremendous effort to pay attention to every detail, and I work incredibly well with my coworkers. I pride myself in setting challenging goals and ensuring that they get done! I look forward to an opportunity that will allow me to use my strengths within a team of others, who like me, wish to advance our students to their greatest potential.
