ABOUT ME
I am Vilma Cevallos, a fitness enthusiast, education executive, and devoted grandmother. My journey into fitness began after the birth of my fourth child, motivated by a desire to achieve a healthy, toned body and to prevent potential health issues, particularly given my family's history of diabetes.
I create my own workout routines, focusing on weightlifting to build and maintain muscle mass, and I adhere to a whole, unprocessed, nutrient-dense diet. Despite my demanding schedule, I prioritize my fitness regimen, demonstrating a strong commitment to a healthy lifestyle. I have further honed my expertise by completing a fitness certificate from Hunter College's Continuing Education Program.
In my professional life, I serve as a distinguished administrator in the New York City Public Schools system. As part of the Office of Special Education, Division of Specialized Instruction and Student Support (DSISS), I play a crucial role in the Office of Supervisors of School Psychologists. I am dedicated to ensuring students with disabilities receive appropriate services in inclusive settings, collaborating on professional learning opportunities, overseeing afterschool and summer special education evaluation programs, and supervising citywide borough-based itinerant school psychologists.
As a proud alumna of the City University of New York (CUNY), I hold an impressive array of academic credentials:
-
Master's Degree in Education in School Psychology with an Advanced Certificate in School Psychology from Queens College
-
Master's Degree in Education in School Building Leadership from City College of New York
-
Master's Degree in Education in Mental Health Counseling
My expertise is further validated by New York State Department of Education Permanent Certifications in School District Administrator, School Psychologist, and Bilingual Extension.Outside of my professional pursuits, I am a loving mother of four and grandmother of two. I find joy in paddle boarding, cooking, continuous learning, and cherishing moments with my family. I embody the essence of a modern, multifaceted woman who excels in her career while maintaining a strong commitment to personal health and family values.
