Please join me in welcoming her aboard!”

“I believe in the positive impact of strong, healthy communities on our physical and mental well-being, so I’m excited to join the amazing community of staff and students at Maggie Walker Governor’s School, said Ms. Shapiro. I am passionate about health and wellness and hope to be able to impart some of my knowledge about the healthcare system, disease prevention, mind/body connection, and holistic health to the faculty and students. In addition to being a nurse practitioner, I’m a proud mom of my two children, ages 9 and 6, and my chocolate labrador, Fiona. My physical and virtual doors are always open, and I look forward to meeting you all!”
