Mariel Then
Intern
I recently joined AIRnyc as an intern and am excited to begin this new chapter. Prior to this, I gained valuable experience working in a nursing home as a Recreation Leader, where I started as a volunteer and eventually transitioned into a full-time role in the recreation department. I’m currently studying Health Service Administration at Lehman College. Fluent in both English and Spanish, my personal experiences have always driven me to help others, which inspired me to pursue a career as a Community Health Worker (CHW). I'm passionate about making a positive difference in people’s lives, whether through small acts of kindness or larger contributions. The most rewarding part of my work is being able to bring hope and happiness to those who need it most. Outside of work, I enjoy expressing myself through art, especially painting, drawing, and dancing. Also, I love music!
