501, Ms. Ianni (Math)

I was born in NYC and grew up on Long Island. I started PS 120Q after a career change from the business field. After graduating with a business degree, I decided that teaching would be my future. Returning to school, I earned a Masters in Education and then a Masters in ESL. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, especially Europe because I love historical sites. Playing Candy Crush is my favorite indulgence because I love challenges.

I have lived on Long Island my entire life, but I have always enjoyed spending my free time in Queens. I graduated from Adelphi University with my master's in English literature and creative writing, as well as elementary education and special education. I am currently back in school to gain a certificate in teaching English as a second language. I love traveling to new places and spending time with my family and friends. dcervi@schools.nyc.gov

503, Ms. Kump (Math)

I grew up on Long Island, but moved to Queens a while back. I began my teaching career in South Ozone Park, where I worked as a Staff Developer and Math Coach. I have also had the privilege of working as a Math Coach here at PS 120 before becoming a fourth grade Math and Science teacher. I have been an Adjunct Professor at Queens College teaching Math Methods for Elementary Teachers and a Mathematics Fellow for the City of New York. I am a proud graduate of Cornell University, Queens College (MS in Elementary Ed.), and Bankstreet College (Masters in Math Leadership and Supervision). I live nearby with my daughter and cat, affectionately known as "Bad Kitty."

508, Mr. Manzione

I grew up in a town called Glen Head on Long Island, and I lived in Queens for two years as well! I spent one year teaching sixth grade in Manhattan, before I was lucky enough to begin teaching at P.S. 120Q in 2017 as a special education teacher. I am a proud graduate of SUNY Plattsburgh, from where I received a combined bachelors/masters degree in both Childhood and Special Education. In my free time, I enjoy watching/attending sporting events/concerts, cooking, and spending quality time with my wife, family and friends!
