My Story
I am the proud mother of five wonderful children, three of whom have graduated from esteemed institutions such as Hunter College High School, Columbia, Yale, and other prestigious schools. My expertise lies in business management, particularly in medical and financial organizations, and I have played a significant role in nurturing my children’s communication skills and overall development.
