Danae Farkas

Danae Farkas lives in Scarsdale with her husband and two sons, aged eleven and nine. She has worked at Private Prep in Scarsdale for the past six years as a tutor for the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) and ACT (American College Test). She learned about JCCA through a chance encounter at a yoga class and was impressed by both the history of the Cottage School and the services it currently offers. As a regular volunteer, she enjoys the opportunity to connect with residents and knows she has made their day a little brighter. Becoming a Tree co-chair felt like a natural next step in her growing involvement with JCCA. In her free time, Danae enjoys yoga and dancing.
