About Henri Bonner

I graduated from the University of New Haven where I obtained my Bachelor\'s degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration of Investigative Services. I worked as a Special Events Coordinator in Van Cortlandt Park creating, developing and overseeing programs for NYC Parks as well as the Van Cortlandt Park Conservancy. Currently, I work for Encore Community Services as a HR Manager. I am looking to further increase my knowledge in the HR field after obtaining my MPA with a concentration in Human Resource Management.
