After graduating from Boston University with a degree in economics, I began a career in finance in New York. For more than 10 years, I worked as a derivatives trader for a top European bank. The job afforded me wonderful opportunities, such as living and working in London for two years, which expanded my global business expertise and inculcated my desire to do something both personally rewarding and beneficial for the community around me. I believe children who enroll in Kumon not only improve their academic skills but also learn life skills that will ultimately benefit themselves and society. For the last 10 years I have had the privilege of managing Kumon of Mount Kisco, dedicating my efforts to supporting students and the local community. I am proud of the many student success stories we have had in Mount Kisco, and I look forward to having the same level of success here in Ossining.
