ARIANNA RECINOS

Arianna Recinos is a 2014 graduate of Nora Cronin Presentation Academy and continued her education at John S. Burke Catholic High School before earning a Bachelor of Science in Geological Sciences from the University at Buffalo. She later attained a master’s degree in Energy Systems at Northeastern University in Boston.

Today, Arianna works as a Project Manager for a renewable energy company, leading the development of solar farms that bring clean, sustainable power to communities. She oversees every aspect of these projects from planning and budgeting to construction.

Looking back, Arianna credits NCPA not only for the knowledge it provided, but for the doors it opened. “NCPA gave me access to an education that would normally be far out of reach for so many families. It was not academics. It gave me the belief that I could go further than my circumstances might have allowed. The focus on STEM and personal growth built the foundation I still rely on today.”

She also reflects on the mindset NCPA instilled: “In life, there will always be someone smarter, more talented, or who has an easier path, and sometimes, even your best effort does not guarantee success. NCPA taught me to stay calm, collected, and to keep pushing forward. The best things in life often come from the hardest battles.”

Arianna hopes her journey shows current and future NCPA students that, with determination, perseverance, and the solid foundation this school provides, they can achieve more than they ever imagined.
