I was proud to support the first Russian bilingual public elementary school in Brooklyn, PS 200 throughout its early years. The program had numerous hurdles to overcome, but with the power of parent leaders such as Maria Kot, the program exists to this day! Moreover, others like it have started in other boroughs.

Supporting a bilingual program within a school was special. With this experience I was able to expand even further as the opportunity emerged to be part of a team that would conceptualize and implement a fully bilingual school.
