About AYM

I am the proud father of three children: a 22-year-old daughter currently on a Naval scholarship at the Medical University of South Carolina studying dentistry; a 20-year-old son, also on a Naval scholarship, attending Virginia Tech; and a 15-year‑old daughter who is a high school sophomore. I bring 27 years of experience in education, having served in a wide range of roles including Classroom Teacher, Crisis Team Interventionist, Dean of Students, Assistant Principal, Curriculum Director, and Building Principal. I have served as a professional development instructor with extensive experience in restorative practices, peer mediation, anti‑bullying initiatives, social–emotional learning, data and assessment driven instruction, and technology‑based differentiated learning. Most recently, I have served as an Assistant Principal with Gersh at the West Hempstead campus. In this role, I supervised and supported the implementation of ABA methodologies alongside the unique, personalized programs that have contributed to Gersh’s success. I believe deeply in collaborative leadership and in creating safe, nurturing learning environments where children can grow into the very best versions of themselves. I am excited to begin building strong partnerships with our staff and families, working together to ensure every student reaches their full potential.
