Bronx Collegiate Academy
Bronx, New York
Born and raised in the Bronx, New York I attended Murry Begtraum High School as I graduated as the class Valedictorian. I went off to study Sociology at Smith College, than pursued my Master's in Public Policy from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. This past Spring I received my second Master's in School Counseling from Alfred University. I have been a school counselor for the past 4 years, and it has been an honor to serve and give back to the students who come from the same community as myself.
