  Deanna eagerly joined the Saint Andrew's School community in July 2018.  Originally from Boston (Go Pats!...Red Sox!... Celtics!... Bruins!), she spent the last 5 years working in New York.  She is a Posse Scholar and earned her B.A. from Union College, where she double majored in Political Science & Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and minored in History.  After graduating, she pursued her passion for education and working with youth and their families and started her career at an educational non-profit organization in Boston, working with at-risk youth.  She then worked at her alma mater in the Admissions Office, as the Assistant Dean of Admissions-Coordinator of Multicultural Recruitment.  After three wonderful years at Union, she transitioned to a new role as the Director of College Counseling at a high school in the Bronx (NYC), and most recently, as a College Success Coordinator at an educational non-profit in Manhattan.  Deanna has been and continues to build bridges and make connections in different areas as seen through her memberships in CACNY, NYSCAC, SACAC, and other organizations, as she has also served on several committees, as well as presented and participated in a number of panels, discussions, and other events.    
  
  Deanna looks forward to traveling and enjoying the southeast Florida weather as she and her family explore and enjoy unlimited outdoor sports and activities.  You may catch her walking around campus one day with her dog, Lola, a black and white Great Dane and Pitbull mix, as she cheers students on during their after-school activities.
