Bio
Volunteer Work and Community Engagement
Since 2010, I've dedicated my time to volunteering, aiding underprivileged families in navigating the intricacies of the educational system. This firsthand experience has profoundly shaped my business, anchoring it in the real-world challenges that numerous families encounter daily.
At NY Advocates 4 Kids, we believe that education should be an empowering journey tailored to each child's unique needs and aspirations. We are committed to breaking down the barriers that prevent children from receiving the education they deserve.
