Outstanding Vocational Leader: Maria Panunzio

Congratulations to Maria Panunzio, daughter of Eric Panunzio

and Linda Alsbaiei for her remarkable achievements! As the
Outstanding Vocational Leader of the Alexandria Central School
Class of 2024, Maria has demonstrated an exceptional
commitment to vocational excellence, leadership, and

Program of 93 and an overall average of 89.36. Maria has
earned the Honor Roll with Principal’s Distinction while attending

Maria’s engagement in the CNA program at BOCES has been

nothing short of exemplary. From rotations at Samaritan Hospital

Certification as a Nursing Assistant, Maria has seized every
opportunity for growth and learning. Notably, her recent inductions into the National Honor Society
and the National Technical Honor Society further attest to her exceptional merit and dedication to
excellence.

Beyond her academic pursuits, Maria enjoys working, golfing, shopping, and cherishing moments
with friends and family. Her years of experience in the food service industry as a server have not only
honored her interpersonal skills, but also instilled in her a profound appreciation for meaningful
connections with others. Originally from Kuwait, Maria treasures her cultural roots and finds fulfillment
in bridging linguistic barriers, especially by providing Arabic translation to those in need, ensuring
comfort and inclusivity, which she plans to do while working as a CNA.

Maria will be attending Jefferson Community College in the fall where she will pursue prerequisites for
the SUNY Broome Dental Hygiene Program. Inspired by dental hygienists and driven by a desire to
