Meet our Instructors: Dr. Mauriciere de Govia

We’re thrilled to spotlight one of the outstanding educators who is shaping the future of our Russell Sage SBL/SDL program: Dr. Mauriciere de Govia.

Dr. Mauri is a distinguished leader with over two decades of experience demonstrating resilience, commitment, and success in the field of education. Throughout her career she has held pivotal roles such as Teacher, Principal, VP of National Initiatives at the NYC Leadership Academy, Superintendent of Community School District 23, Executive Director of Brooklyn South, Executive Superintendent of Queens (NYC), college professor, and most recently, the head of emergency management for all of New York City Public Schools.

Her work as an educator has taken her internationally as she has led and presented professional learning for educators in Peru, Ghana, and Gambia. In February 2024, she shared her EmpowerHER program in Gambia providing and distributing feminine hygiene products in schools for the first time ensuring improved school attendance and health and wellness awareness for girls in that country. As a result she was honored by the Gambian Teachers’ Union as well as the US Ambassador for Gambia for her efforts.
