Midwood
Put your hands together for Dr. Jennifer Marti, a board-certified surgeon specializing in endocrine and breast surgery, and a new staffer at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Brooklyn — and the Marine Park private practice of Merab Krikhely, M.D.
The good Dr. Marti is a graduate of the New York University School of Medicine. She completed her general surgery residence at New York University Medical Center in Manhattan, and followed up with a sub-speciality in breast surgical oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, also in Manhattan.
Standing O is happy she has hopped over the bridge and joined the staff at Beth Israel.

Bay Ridge
Most likely to produce
Three cheers and a huzza to Standing O pal state Sen. Martin Golden (R–Bay Ridge). The official was voted as “most productive” by the New York Public Research Interest Group. The group analyzed his record and maintained that Sen. Golden sponsored the most amount of bills that passed both houses of the legislature in Albany, and had the second highest number of bills pass the Senate.
But it’s all in a day’s work for the senator.
“Every year I pride myself in working extremely hard for the residents of my district, and this year was no different,” said Golden, who has secured safer streets, and more funding for our schools and senior programs, while working hard in Albany to improve our transportation options.
“I look forward to continuing my work in Albany fighting to ensure that our communities remain a great place to live, work, and raise a family,” he added.
Now the industrious official has a Standing O to add to his mantle, alongside the research group’s stamp of approval.

Gravesend
A new manager at TD Bank
The “most convenient” TD Bank has named Yana Kolchinskaya as its new assistant vice president at its Gravesend branch.
Yana will be responsible for new business development, consumer and business lending, managing personnel, and overseeing the day-to-day operations. She brings with her more than 16 years banking business and expertise. Before coming to TD Bank, Yana served as branch manager at Capital One and Flushing Bank here and on Staten Island.

Brooklyn Heights
Another board member
The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy elected Chris Coffey to its Board of Directors. Chris works at Tusk Strategies and is a consultant to many of New York’s best known institutions, including AT&T and Bloomberg Philanthropies, a company of former Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
“Chris’s rich involvement in civic life will make him a fantastic addition to the team,” said Nancy Bowe, the conservancy’s chairwoman.
Don’t we know it — Chris served on all three of Bloomberg’s mayoral campaigns!
Standing O wishes Chris congratulations on his new post.

Borough Wide
Another competitor
Teen Dana Steward has been chosen as a state finalist in the National American Miss New York pageant, happening as you read this at the Hyatt Brunswick in New Jersey.
Dana is a beautiful, talented, young woman, whose activities include crew council and peer meditation. She also enjoys acting, singing, modeling, photography, and dance.
Standing O is sending out good vibes for her to clinch the title and compete in the national crown in California in the fall. If Dana seals the deal and captures the crown, she will receive $1,000 along with a bouquet of roses, the coveted sash, and another Standing O!
