Rosita Burgos-Bueno, who recently celebrated her 25th UFT work anniversary, got her start working with the UFT Teacher Center, where she assisted in providing educators with professional development. Since then, she has held a number of responsibilities, including managing the union’s Teacher Union Day awards ceremony and annual Spring Education Conference. She finds it especially meaningful to see “teachers and school-based staff being rewarded for their hard work and dedication.” Rosita considers being promoted to serve as UFT President Michael Mulgrew’s executive assistant as a “moment that changed my life.” She adds: “working at this capacity with the entire executive floor has strengthened the love for the work that I do. I can go on and on about my journey at the UFT, but I will simply say that all the long hours and hard work have been worth it.” Color us delighted to have such a committed professional in Rosita!
