This fall, the Pingry community welcomed Mrs. Uma Aviles to the Upper School faculty as the Upper School Academic Dean and co-instructor of Peer Leadership. She is also serving as a Form III advisor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs. Aviles attended Bryn Mawr College, where she majored in economics and minored in education. She then received a Master\u2019s Degree with a focus on technology, innovation, and education from Harvard Graduate School of Education. Prior to joining the Pingry School, Mrs. Aviles worked at the Trinity School in New York City as the Director of Student Activities and the Dean of the classes of 2017 and 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After graduating from The Peddie School, where she had a tremendously positive experience with the adults on campus, Mrs. Aviles joined the Trinity School not only because she \u201cenjoyed being part of a school community,\u201d but also because she \u201cloved working with high school students.\u201d Eventually, she decided to join the Pingry community because of commute distances and the fact that her daughter enrolled in the Lower School two years ago. Inspired to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of students, Mrs. Aviles joined and became an integral part of the Upper School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for her current experience at Pingry, Mrs. Aviles said, \u201cI have truly felt welcomed and I especially enjoy the school\u2019s energy and the care that community members all show to one another.\u201d Looking forward to settling in, she hopes to \u201cget to know as many students as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her free time, Mrs. Aviles likes to hike, do yoga, and read fiction. Additionally, she has two children and loves to spend time with her family.
