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

Hey y’all! I'm looking forward to starting my 3rd year with Mosaic and continuing the great programming and trips we do together.

Throughout my years in youth and community programming, I’ve served as a Camp Counselor, Head Counselor, Assistant Theater Director, After-School Counselor, and a 1-on-1 tutor. In my college years, I interned for a non-profit for 3 summers in South Dakota on the Cheyenne River Reservation. There, we provided summer camp, teen programs, and community meals. Following the pandemic, I was a Unit Leader for a summer camp in Inwood and in summer 2023 I was 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.

Outside of Mosaic, I work as an independent writer and filmmaker. I can't wait to continue Mosaic's very own film club to create our second movie with the film club students on Wednesdays!
