Former Bilingual Program Educator

Before joining The Maurer Foundation, Helen graduated from Queens College where she majored in Media Studies and minored in Women's Studies. A seasoned public speaker, Helen came to The Maurer Foundation in 2007 with the hope of helping all people recognize the importance of becoming their own health advocates as well as allaying their fears about breast cancer. During her off time Helen likes running, playing drums, writing, taking pictures and discovering new music at various New York City venues.
