My name is Matthew R. Kasternakis, and I am currently pursuing a career in education. I graduated from the Sayreville War Memorial High School in 2023. During my high school career, I participated in my school’s marching band program. I was the section leader and center snare drum for the drumline. I earned the highest band award by the time I graduated high school. Then I started my journey of getting a bachelor’s degree in education. I graduated from Middlesex College in Spring of 2026 and am currently attending Kean University.
