Professional Biography: Education is key that our children hold, it’s very important to guide them and support them. I love children and love to see the joy and pride in their faces as they learn and accomplish new things. I believe each child has a special talent inside them and we just need to help them let it blossom.

Personal Biography: My name is Cherona but I’m better known as Cici. I was born in Towson, Maryland and lived there all my life until we moved to York 6 years ago. I am married and have four beautiful children. Three of them are adults and live on their own. My eldest son was blessed with a Catholic Education in Maryland at St. Ignatius Loyola Academy in Baltimore and Calvert Hall. He went on to study at Loyola College. My husband and I are very blessed to have our daughter Gianna attend Holy Trinity. A Catholic Education is so important in developing a strong religious foundation , the high quality education that is received and the sense of community and care that is received.
I am currently furthering my education in Spanish Translation and Religious Studies. I plan on getting my Bachelors degree and becoming a Certified teacher.
