Name of School: P.S. 38 Roberto Clemente

DBN: 04M038 Superintendent: Alexandra Estrella

Personal Statement: This my second year in the position of payroll secretary at P.S 38. My role and responsibilities consist of office management, meeting office deadlines of documents and payroll submission. I also work in collaboration with office staff to maintain an organized and respectful environment in the office. Prior to working with the Department of Education, I was employed by a non- profit organization, the Center for Alternative Sentences and Employment Services (CASES). This organization provided services for adults and adolescents that were involved with the Supreme and/or Family Courts. I started as a secretary and then was promoted to a level two Case Manager. This allowed me to work closely with families. Throughout the 22 years that I worked for CASES, I received intense training related to social work, such as conducting a psycho social assessment in order to identify areas of concern and develop treatment plans. I graduated from the College of New Rochelle in 2011 with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences.
