I have worked in the social service field for thirty years in New York City, in various positions, with increasing responsibility.
I grew up in the 1960s and attended integrated schools and resided in an integrated neighborhood.

While watching the news and other historical news footage, I realized that my generation was the first to be integrated into white America.

I have a bachelor of arts degree from Queens College (CUNY), majoring in sociology and political science, with a concentration in international politics; a master’s degree in social work from Stony Brook University (SUNY); and a licensed master’s of social work degree from the New York State Department of Education. A resident of New York, I am married with children.
