Coordinator, Assistant Principal and now Principal at P.S. 86 in the 
Bushwick community. As a student she attended the schools in District

of her block association.
  Mabel has a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Arts from Hunter

professional diploma from Long Island University in Administration.
  She began her professional career as a teacher at Saint Martin's of

classroom to administration as a Parent Coordinator, an Assistant 
Principal at P.S. 106, and to her current position as the Principal at 
P.S. 86.
  Mabel strives every day to empower and create a positive image for 
the community she loves. She is a firm believer that through education 
you can change your life and impact many others. Holding high 
expectations, she continues to strive to make sure that our students, 
educators, parents and community residents are involved in the progress 
of our students. She is married with two beautiful boys, Rafael and 
Jeremy.
  Mr. Speaker, Mabel Muniz-Sarduy has ably served her community by
