“Welcome to the College/Career office! I’m Ms. Carmona and I am a DYP alum. After graduating from John Jay, I decided that I wanted to give back to my community. I am here today to guide you through your post-secondary planning. I am thrilled to share all of the different pathways that are available to you; whether that’s college, trade school, military, or employment. It is never too late to start the process. Together we will create a plan for your future that best fits you. Please reach out if you have any questions, it is always my pleasure to assist!”
