Jestina Eubanks

Program Director

Ms. Eubanks holds a Master of Public Administration and Nonprofit Management from Buffalo State University and a certificate of Human Resource Management from Fordham University. Her service with AmeriCorps during grad school demonstrated her passion for community development through her work with elected officials, childcare service programs, after-school/summer camp, and study abroad programs. As an education leader and advocate, she believes that learning goes beyond the classroom and that it takes a village to raise a child.

Being from the island of wood and water; Jamaica, she has a love for traveling and exploration. Traveling to a new country each year helps her to appreciate one’s culture and brightens her outlook on life. During her summer breaks from the Department of Education, she works with summer camps all over the world, pursuing her passion for working with young people and traveling. Meister Eckhart said it best “And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” In other words, having the drive to step outside one’s comfort zones and think outside the box. As a risk taker, it’s starting something new and trusting in the process.

Marky Hinojosa

Program Manager

Meet Mr. Marky, Mosaic’s Program Manager! Marky has years of experience working with kids from Texas to Colorado, and now NYC. Throughout his years in youth and community programming, he has served as a Camp Counselor, Head Counselor, Assistant Theater Director, After-School Counselor, and a 1-on-1 tutor. During his college years, he interned for a non-profit for 3 summers in South Dakota on the Cheyenne River Reservation. There, he helped to provide summer camp, teen programs, and community meals. Following the pandemic, he was a Unit Leader for a summer camp in Inwood, and an Arts & Crafts Specialist in Pomona, NY.

“My commitment to younger generations and their families is strengthened by the various communities I have served. I’m proud to come from Texas where I first worked in summer camps. I served, listened, and learned from indigenous communities on their complex relationship and history with the United States. It’s a changing world, and I intend to guide the communities in which I live and serve into an equitable future where all children can learn and thrive.”

Anita Jaramillo

Engagement Coordinator

Meet our Engagement Coordinator, Ms. Anita! who brings compassion and dedication to my work each day. Coming from a family of educators, it has inspired her to follow in their footsteps. She started her career in child care in 2019, gaining hands-on experience in both daycare settings and nonprofit organizations. Through these roles, she developed a strong foundation in child development, program planning, and family support.

At Mosaic, she utilizes her skills and experiences to help design and coordinate programs that encourage learning, growth, and community connection. She is passionate about creating welcoming environments where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore their potential.

She is CPR, First Aid certified. One of her professional goals is to continue developing inclusive programs that strengthen both children and families within the community.

Laura Jurenaite

Assistant Manager

Hi, my name is Ms. Laura!. When I was a child, I dreamt of the same things every child has dreamed of, one of which was leading the world. As a young adult, I’m able to turn that dream into a reality thanks to Mosaic because leading a child is leading the future. This will be my 4th year working here, and now I am an Assistant Manager. I’m beyond excited to put my skills to use. Working with children in my past jobs gave me the chance to transform lives, and I know that this position will too. I absolutely love children and I’m truly looking forward to making a good difference in their lives.

Yanan Li

Hello! My name is Yanan Li and I am a rising senior in Brooklyn Technical High School. I am passionate about learning, helping others, and exploring my interests in architecture. In particular, I want to become an architect in designing affordable housing for people in need. Through my volunteer work and communism programs, I’ve enjoyed supporting students in an afterschool setting and helping in park cleanups in my community.

Outside of school and work, I spend my free time sketching and gardening. Sketching helped me to express my ideas visually, while gardening taught me patience and care. I also love to explore new places around NYC, so feel free to hit me up with recommendations!

Ryan Phillips

My name is Ryan, and I’m beyond excited to be joining the PS20 team! I can’t wait to learn, grow, and help build something special with this amazing community. Over the past two summers, I’ve worked closely with kids and somewhere between snack time and summer camp chaos, I realized just how passionate I am about this work. It’s truly something I’m committed to.

I’m currently a senior at Bishop Loughlin (yep, it’s my “last ride”!). Alongside school, I’ve been involved in softball management, house dance management, and basketball management. These roles have pushed me to grow in leadership, creativity, and responsibility, all skills I now bring with me to PS20.

When I’m not working or in school, I love spending time with my grandma (she keeps me grounded and full of wisdom), drawing, playing sports (warning: I’m very competitive), and just hanging out—sometimes with friends, sometimes with myself. I’m a good mix of introvert and extrovert, so you’ll find me both running around with the kids and enjoying a quiet moment when it’s needed.

I’m incredibly proud to be a part of the Mosaic community, and I’m ready to bring my energy, ideas, and heart to the team. If you’re reading this—hi! I can’t wait to meet you and work together to make this year amazing.
