Queens, NY — January 29, 2026 — Queens Community House (QCH) hosted a dynamic Career Panel at the High School for Arts & Business, bringing real-world insight and inspiration to students enrolled in its Young Adult Borough Center (YABC).
“I was the Executive Director of the Community House for 31 years. When I began, the center—then known as the Forest Hills Community House—was based in a community center in Forest Hills.
“I joined Queens Connect at a moment when I was trying to figure out what came next. After graduating in 2022, I knew I needed more experience and skills to build my resume and transition into adulthood with confidence.
“I first connected with QCH in the early 90s, not long after I moved to Forest Hills. I wasn’t looking for a full-time job. I just wanted to stay busy and be around people. A friend suggested I stop by the community center, and that visit turned into years of involvement.
