Jenny Mena Zapata
HBA Director

Hello HBA Families, I am Jenny and I was born in the Dominican Republic but raised in the South Bronx, NYC. I am fluent in Spanish & English but a beginner in Russian, Korean and Hindi languages. I enjoy working in HBA with all the cooperative teachers. No matter the hurdles that may come our way, we all pull together and give our best efforts.

 

I have been working in education from 2014 to present. As an elementary teacher, preschool teacher for 11 years and in administration for 6 years, I really value being a team with patent and staff to ensure that students are safe, growing their brains, and collaborating with their friends. 

 

I enjoy being able to help teachers, students and families to synergistically strive towards quality education and lots of fun.

 

Here’s to a fabulous 2026-2027 school year!
