Luz Maria Mack — A Degree in Bringing Together Motherhood, Community and Education
Bilingual children’s book author, 2007 Master’s in Public Affairs and Administration alumna, Luz Maria Mack is a mother of three and a full-time Admin Specialist to the Associate Director for Clinical Research at Weill Cornell Medicine. Luz has always been the type of person who goes the extra mile to lend a helping hand. Her career choice was no coincidence. She also holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology from City College which she puts to good use along with her MPA in what you might call her “regular” job at Weill Cornell Medicine.
