Nicole Huang

Hi, I'm Nicole, and I'm a mom of two.

My work at PCR has always centered on families, young people, and our community. Over the years, I've met so many families and heard so many different stories. As an immigrant and a parent myself, I know how it feels to be stretched thin between work, family, and building a life in a new place.

Raising kids, I've had my share of worry, impatience, and moments when I didn't know how to get through to them. As my children grow, I'm still learning how to understand them, when to let go, and how to take care of myself while caring for my family.

As a Positive Discipline educator, I enjoy working with parents on how to be kind and firm at the same time: respecting children while setting clear rules and boundaries. I've also trained as a peer specialist, and I hope to bring together my own experience and what I've learned to listen to and support people who need it.

If you'd like to talk about parenting stress, communicating with your kids, family rules, or your own feelings and life, I'd love to hear from you. I'll listen, share what I've learned, and think through next steps with you. If you're interested in community work or nonprofits, I'm happy to chat about that too.

Outside of work, I love walking by the ocean, reading, and spending time with our cats and dogs. Life gets busy, so I treasure the quiet, simple moments.

Feel free to book a time with me. Come with a specific question, or just come if you need someone to talk to. Either is welcome.

Jess Chen

Hi! I'm Jess Chen, Program Director at PCR, where I've worked for nearly eight years. Over that time, I've been involved in many of our community programs, events, and volunteer activities.

Much of my work is about turning ideas into real programs and making sure everything comes together behind the scenes. I especially enjoy working with young people: hearing their ideas, helping them find ways to get involved, and watching them take on more responsibility and grow more confident through volunteering.

Outside of work, I'm a mom of two, including a teenager. Raising a teen has taught me a lot about the ups and downs of communication, independence, school, and how the parent–child relationship changes as kids grow. I'm always happy to share a parent's perspective, or simply listen if you want to talk something through.

Feel free to book a time with me  if you'd like to talk about volunteering at PCR, community involvement, program or event ideas, communicating with parents, or anything you're trying to figure out along the way.

Wenzhen Deng

Hi! I’m Wenzhen Deng, also you can call me Solomon. I'm a Program Assistant & Bookkeeper at PCR, and I've been here for about four to five years. My core focus is managing the organization's finances — bookkeeping, budgeting, and keeping our financial house in order. One result I'm proud of: I've helped grow our annual budget from $200K to $500K, keeping it accurate and sustainable along the way. I'm also currently studying at Baruch College as BA, majoring in Accounting with a minor in Economics — so the practical work and the classroom theory reinforce each other.

What you can take away from 30 minutes with me:

- A practical read on your personal or small-organization finances — budgeting, bookkeeping basics, or how to get organized

- Perspective on accounting and investing that combines real books with formal training in accounting and economics

- Practical experience with personal taxes — how to get organized, what to watch for, and where newcomers commonly get stuck

- If you're a newcomer, an honest conversation about settling in — I've been there

This chat is for you if:

- You're a new immigrant navigating finances, paperwork, or simply life in a new country — I moved here 7 years ago and have studied in both China and the U.S., so I know the gaps firsthand

- You have questions about personal taxes and want a practical, plain-language walkthrough rather than jargon

- You want to talk finance, accounting, or investing with someone who works with real numbers and is formally trained in both accounting and economics

- You'd rather have a straightforward conversation than a sales pitch

Not for you if you're looking for a formal financial advisor, licensed tax preparer, or licensed investment advice — I'll tell you honestly what I can and can't help with.

No preparation needed. Bring your questions. If it's not a fit, no follow-up pressure.

Tina Chen

Hi! I’m Tina Chen, a recent graduate of NYU’s Nursing program and a Registered Nurse. I’ve been part of PCR since 2018, when I first joined as a volunteer, and I’ve now been working with the organization for about five years.

I currently serve as PCR’s Youth Program Director, where I oversee youth programs, volunteer opportunities, and leadership development for teens. A big part of my role is helping young people get connected to meaningful opportunities where they can build skills, gain experience, become more involved in their community, and grow as leaders.

I’m also the designated contact for volunteer award applications, college-related letters, volunteer program planning, and recommendation letters. I’m happy to meet with students and volunteers who have questions about their involvement at PCR, school or college planning, career interests, leadership opportunities, or next steps in their volunteer experience.

Feel free to schedule a meeting with me if you’d like to talk through any of the above, ask questions, or get some guidance and support!
